Paragraph text
The right to health imposes overlapping obligations of immediate effect on States. They include the immediate obligations of non-discrimination and to take steps towards the progressive realization of rights, the core obligation to ensure the minimum essential levels of the right and the obligations to respect and protect. Immediate obligations are outside the ambit of article 2 (1) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Core obligations are the minimum essential level of a right and are not progressively realized. Duties to respect and protect are akin to obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to respect and ensure - because the duty to ensure includes the duty to protect - which indisputably are justiciable.
