Conflicting Concerns of Mobility and Health Rights in Emergencies- Where an Ethical Blueprint Fit?

Forthcoming Article

Research paper titled “CONFLICTING CONCERNS OF MOBILITY AND HEALTH RIGHTS IN EMERGENCIES- WHERE AN ETHICAL BLUEPRINT FIT?”

Abstract: In times of health emergencies, such as the outbreak of a communicable disease, there are issues in law and ethics that are raised. This include, the need to maintain the dignity of those affected, ramping up measures to ensure the protection of health rights, and whether there is a justification for restricting movement given the risk of infection but taking cognisance of the economic implication. Policymakers and health professionals will be faced with the decision of how to maintain conduct so as not to undermine these rights, but also ensure safety.

On ‘Rethinking Leadership’ book

The fate of global peace and prosperity, and even more importantly personal development in every facet, is dependent largely on crucial and soundly applied leadership principles. I proffer spiritual leadership nuggets that have proven to be true over centuries, with formidable fulcrum– as illustrated in biblical scriptures. Not much is known about adopting a spiritual strategy to resolve practical complexities, so what this book aims for is to show how often without due acknowledgment there is a web of spiritual matter that is complied with[set in motion but with often resistance], whether be on sowing and reaping, due diligence and an aching sense of need for right justice, or perhaps on the appropriateness of wellbeing– yet there is more to explore in this dimension of leadership. The actualisation of which I believe has to have the input of the Spirit rather than in isolation. The next generation is owed this etch of leadership, moral and credible ethical stances to policy framework, and a structure that would enable the apprehending of goodness as a necessary norm. This is what Rethinking Leadership is all about, showcasing principles of the word for everyday living and decision-making.

On demystifying rights phenomenology, aiding and constructing meaning that advances the well-being of people 

[Abstract] What constitute ‘rights’ raises several complexities, such as whether we connote natural right, human right, legal right or perhaps merely being right. Rights may also simultaneously invoke themes of liberty, immunity, power, priviledge. Some theorists suggest a classification based on the question of a correlative duty or enforceability.



I suggest we understand rights as a concept that carries with it an original meaning that we have to interpret in terms of its history and broadness. Rights could be analysed as a derivative of natural law, but also a creation of positive law- I argue however, whatever ascription we construct rights to be it has to be such that takes a perspective that prioritises the welfare and dignity of people, and recognises that certain rights to individuals are intrinsic and inalienable, and such to be protected, not deviated from.
