Health financing in the context of the right to health 2012, para. 49
- Paragraph text
- Primary health-care goods and services do not require specialized training for health-care workers, sophisticated diagnostic equipment or significant physical infrastructure. Primary health care is provided in the community setting in small clinics or in homes by doctors, nurses and other health-care workers and may therefore be administered in a more socially and culturally acceptable manner. Primary health care is thus more geographically adaptable and less costly to administer and make use of, which increases the availability of health goods and services for rural and remote communities and the poor.

- Paragraph text
- Economic, social and cultural rights have historically been accorded less attention than civil and political rights, given that they have erroneously been seen as non-justiciable because of alleged inherent differences between the two sets of rights. Initially, only one international human rights covenant, containing both civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights, was envisaged. When it came to drafting that unified instrument, however, the Commission on Human Rights believed that the nature of the rights were different and convinced the General Assembly of the necessity of two separate covenants (A/2929, chap. II, para. 9). The rationale was that "[civil and political rights] were rights of the individual 'against' the State, i.e., against unlawful and unjust action of the State", while economic, social and cultural rights required States to take positive action (ibid., para. 10).

The right to mental health 2017, para. 50
- Paragraph text
- Diversity must be broadly understood, recognizing the diversity of human experience and the variety of ways in which people process and experience life. Respecting that diversity is crucial to ending discrimination. Peer-led movements and self-help groups, which help to normalize human experiences that are considered unconventional, contribute towards more tolerant, peaceful and just societies.
