AB Contemporary international society is characterized, among other elements, by itsprogressive humanization, which situates human beings at the centre of all international concerns.This conceptual approach, and the capacity of global health to situate itself transversally acrossmultiple dimensions, means that health is a material domain that can become a central axis ofinternational action and of International Law. In this paper are discussed, frstly, the internationalnotion of health and its global character in a globalized world; secondly, are analysed certain keyaspects concerning health as an object of cooperation and international regulation, particularly asit involves the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO). Finally, are presentedsome of the principal substantive dimensions of current international action in matters of globalhealth.
