This selective bibliography lists papers, articles and books under different thematic headings with an emphasis on publications which can be retrieved from medical or other libraries.

We have tried to provide sufficient information for each publication to allow a reader to obtain a copy through a normal library request: this is a "help-yourself" bibliography.

Earlier versions of this bibliography have been published by Amnesty International; see Health and Human Rights (Vol 4, No.1, 1999, pp.215-64).

Links to complete papers or to abstracts are given where available.

We would welcome any corrections to entries which are incomplete or in error, and we apologize to any author whose paper is not listed here and should be.

The bibliography is available as one complete document or in individual sections.

This work is part of Amnesty International's Demand Dignity campaign, which aims to end the human rights violations that drive and deepen global poverty. The campaign will mobilize people all over the world to demand that governments, corporations and others who have power listen to the voices of those living in poverty and recognise and protect their rights.
