Paragraph
Work of the mandate and priorities of the SR 2015, para. 107
- Paragraph text
- Any form of violence, including collective violence, does not originate in a vacuum. Violence has roots in unhealthy relationships amongst individuals, and is reinforced by the failure to promote and protect good-quality human relations, starting with relationships between an infant and the primary caregiver. The cycle of violence is reinforced when children grow up - whether in families or in institutions - without having their basic needs satisfied, which include not only the need to survive, but the need to feel secure and thus to enjoy the right to healthy development.

Work of the mandate and priorities of the SR 2015, para. 104
- Paragraph text
- All forms of violence are harmful and detrimental to the health and development of human beings, starting from the youngest children. Early childhood adversities, including all forms of violence against children, such as physical and emotional abuse and chronic neglect, if they are not timely addressed by healthy public policies, can result in chronic diseases in the adult affecting both physical and mental health.

Work of the mandate and priorities of the SR 2015, para. 95
- Paragraph text
- All persons with disabilities have a right to health, including to quality health-care services. In that regard, persons with disabilities should not be discriminated against and should enjoy that right in their communities as persons without disabilities do. The Special Rapporteur is concerned that all too often children and adults with different forms of disabilities are deprived of the full realization to the right to health. He will address that serious issue, with a particular focus on the rights of persons with psychosocial and intellectual disabilities.

Work of the mandate and priorities of the SR 2015, para. 91
- Paragraph text
- The right to holistic development is another equally important element of the right to health of children. Children need to be protected through the promotion and protection of their economic, social and cultural rights. Furthermore, from the moment of birth, children should also be considered as citizens entitled to all rights, including civil rights and freedoms. Their right to health should be promoted not only through the prevention of child mortality and morbidity but also through the protection of children's right to holistic development.

Work of the mandate and priorities of the SR 2015, para. 90
- Paragraph text
- The launch of the technical guidance on the application of a human rights-based approach to the implementation of policies and programmes to reduce and eliminate preventable mortality and morbidity of children under 5 years of age (A/HRC/27/31) in 2014 is a serious attempt to put an end to the unacceptable epidemics of preventable deaths of infants. The human rights-based approach is critically important in that regard since child mortality is intimately linked with human rights of women and the widespread discrimination against vulnerable groups of population.

- The right to survival relates to the prevention of infant and under-5 mortality. Despite many achievements in the field of medicine, 6 million children under 5 die every year in the world. Those children do not die of unknown or incurable diseases or illnesses; they die because of the conditions in which they and their parents live and poor governance and accountability.

Work of the mandate and priorities of the SR 2015, para. 87
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur is planning to address right-to-health challenges using, among other methods, a life-cycle approach. Such an approach helps identify critical elements of challenges and opportunities for full realization of the right to health. It is during some important stages of the life course that the right to health needs to be particularly protected, since during those stages there is a greater risk of violations of human rights, including the right to health. On the other hand, interventions during those critical stages of life open up new opportunities and offer new health protective factors. The life-cycle approach can help in the prevention of chronic diseases in adult life through the effective protection of children from early childhood adversities.
