Today teaching ethics of dual loyalty conflicts of medical professionals, e.g. in context of health care for asylum seekers or situations of hunger strike, citing work by Deborah Zion, Tobias Pieper, Herbert Brücker, Dominik Haselwarter, Katja Kühlmeyer, and guidelines by World Medical Association, Médecins du Monde, IPPNW, Physicians for Human Rights - thank you for your work on this, and for providing such good guidance for medical professionals in difficult and politically charged contexts. Human rights are the way to go.
