Title: Beyond Siracusa: Embedding a Human Rights Framework in Public Health Emergency Responses
Abstract: The Siracusa Principles provide authoritative interpretive guidelines for the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), delineating limits on rights restrictions during emergencies. The Siracusa Principles are designed to ensure that any limitations on human rights meet the standards of necessity, proportionately, and legality. However, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant shortcoming of the Siracusa Principles—their narrow focus on civil and political rights, overly general nature, and lack of robust accountability mechanisms. To address these shortfalls, leading health experts formulated the Principles and Guidelines on Human Rights Public Health (PHE Principles) through a three-year initiative spearheaded by the International Commission of Jurists and the Global Health Consortium (GHLC). This presentation examines how the PHE Principles aim to strength the human rights protections during public health crises by building upon the Siracusa Principles. The PHE Principles broaden protections to encompass not only civil and political rights but also economic, social, and cultural rights—with a particular focus on the right to health. By providing more detailed and comprehensive guidance, the PHE Principles aim to assist governments in navigating future health emergencies while embedding a rights-based approach into their pandemic preparedness, prevention, and response.

Title: Is the Buddha’s Lucky Throw Unlucky?
Abstract: Finnigan (2024) used decision-theoretic tools to argue that the Buddha, in the Apaṇṇaka Sutta, presents a decision-problem under uncertainty about whether to ‘wager’ for karma and rebirth. It showed that he resolves this decision-problem using dominance (superdominance, even superduperdominance) reasoning, but raised three objections to the idea that we are rationally required to accept this wager: the many rebirths objection, the redundancy objection, and the unnecessary expectations objection. Nevertheless, the article ended with a motivational concession: the Buddha’s Wager might at least provide one more reason for someone to act well, if they so needed. This is because the two kinds of outcomes the wager envisions – social and karmic – depend on the individual using the view at issue to inform their conduct. This talk examines a challenge to that concession; namely, that it undermines the rationality of the wager by providing a bad reason for acting well. Call this the self-undermining objection. The Buddha describes his wager as a “lucky throw” that, when “accepted and undertaken… will lead to welfare and happiness for a long time.” Does accepting this wager actually constitute an “unlucky throw”—one that ultimately undermines the very welfare and happiness the Buddha asserts the wager would bring?

Title: Why Strength Argument is not a Good Defense for Moral Intuition
Abstract: Dario Cecchini claims that moral intuitions are experienced with different levels of strength and agents accept only strong intuitions, not vulnerable to bias under realistic circumstances. I labeled his defense for moral intuition with intuitive confidence as “strength argument”. Although I belong to the camp of moral intuition supporters, I believe that Cechini’s strength argument is not a good justification for moral intuition from the reliability challenge. First of all, strength argument will lead us to subjectivism, psychologism, and, most importantly, such argument will fail to withstand the reliability challenge. Furthermore, it is an impossible mission to distinguish the strength of people’s different moral intuitions. Last but not least, it is unnecessary to classify the strength of moral intuitions as well. Intuition can be strong or weak, but different strengths of intuition are merely phenomena, not and should not be viewed as the essence of intuition. Instead, I will address reliability challenge by analyzing the structure of moral intuition.
