PANEL III: RESPONDING TO INFECTIOUS DISEASES: NATIONAL SECURITY
OR HUMAN RIGHTS?
The threat

policy issues that relate to national security interests, as well as
moral imperatives. This panel will examine strategies to build international
security, to protect the health of U.S. and international citizens,
and at the same time respect the human rights of affected groups world-wide.
It will also explore possible tensions among these policy objectives.
