The specific laws and cases described below have been chosen because they illustrate some key legal issues in each of the sub-topics. We have tried to highlight those statutes and cases that confront these legal issues in a way sensitive to sexual health and human rights. Ideally, these laws should promote sexual health as broadly defined by the WHO. In other words, the laws should not only promote appropriate health interventions for individuals and support effective public health policies, but should also promote dignity, equality, autonomy and well-being. Laws favoring positive sexual health outcomes must also follow international standards, and should be in accord with the highest standards under U.S. and Canadian law. Such laws should promote the human rights of individuals, and should not impermissibly limit their rights"Pages: 145engWith permission of the license/copyright holdersexual medicinehuman rightshealth ethicsGlobal ethicsPolitical ethicsBioethicsCommunity ethicsDevelopment ethicsSocial ethicsSexual orientation/genderHealth ethicsPreprint
