Right to health in early childhood - Right to survival and development 2015, para. 55
- Paragraph text
- Modern health systems and modern health policies should not be limited to a biomedical model of addressing separate diseases and managing them with advanced biomedical interventions. Addressing social and other underlying determinants of health by applying modern principles of health promotion, primary care, mental health and integrated health and social services is legally required by the right to health, including in early childhood.

The right to health and international drug control, compulsory treatment for drug dependence and access to controlled medicines 2010, para. 60
- Paragraph text
- The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights imposes a number of immediate obligations on States Parties, including that they guarantee that rights will be exercised without discrimination. If harm-reduction programmes and evidence-based treatment are made available to the general public, but not to persons in detention, that contravenes international law. Indeed, because of the health risks associated with incarceration, the Special Rapporteur considers that greater efforts may be required inside prisons to meet public health objectives. In the context of HIV and harm reduction, this demands implementation of harm-reduction services in places of detention even where they are not yet available in the community, as the principle of equivalence is insufficient to address the epidemic among prisoners.

The right to health and international drug control, compulsory treatment for drug dependence and access to controlled medicines 2010, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- Drug laws and policies impact on HIV control because of the dynamics of drug usage: in particular, the sharing of needles, through which HIV can be transferred. Approximately one in 10 new HIV infections worldwide result from injecting drug use, and up to 90 per cent of infections occur among people who inject drugs in regions such as Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Where harm-reduction interventions are not implemented, HIV prevalence among people who inject drugs can rise to 40 per cent or greater within a year or two of introduction of the virus into their communities.

The right to health and international drug control, compulsory treatment for drug dependence and access to controlled medicines 2010, para. 69
- Paragraph text
- In addition to legislative change, the importance of re-education and awareness-raising among law enforcement personnel cannot be underestimated, particularly because of the risk created by strict policing practices. For instance, the prevalence of HIV among people who inject drugs was recorded as significantly higher in Edinburgh in the 1980s, where police aggressively enforced laws banning needle possession, as compared to nearby Glasgow, where such strict enforcement was not taken. Any efforts to decriminalize or de-penalize drug use or possession must be coupled with appropriate strategies to ensure that the fear and stigma that were reinforced through excessive policing are ameliorated.

The right to health and development 2011, para. 44
- Paragraph text
- The experience of the Sonagachi Project, started by the All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health in Kolkata, India in 1992, is indicative of the potential of right to health-based interventions. While the project began as a traditional STD/HIV intervention amongst sex workers in the red-light areas within the district, it soon evolved into one that had at its core central facets of the right to health framework - most importantly, community participation - in an effort to empower the sex worker community to realize their own rights, and ultimately prevent the spread of HIV. The programme noted successful outcomes in respect of health and development; its most quantifiable effects included significantly improved condom usage, and reduced HIV rates amongst the Sonagachi sex worker population. However, its processes and their effects have also been thoroughly researched, reflecting its successes in advocacy and community leadership.

Occupational health 2012, para. 28
- Paragraph text
- For example, processes surrounding the negotiation of free trade agreements have lacked transparency and have not involved the participation of affected communities. As discussed earlier, the proliferation of free trade agreements is an element of globalization, which directly impacts the occupational health of workers. The right to occupational health requires States to incorporate workers' views and experiential knowledge into processes surrounding the negotiations of free trade agreements. Additionally, transparency requires States to make publicly available and accessible all draft agreements, negotiation proposals, minutes from negotiation meetings, and all other relevant information.

Right to health in conflict situations 2013, para. 21
- Paragraph text
- States may enact laws that impose a duty on health-care workers to report persons who may have committed a crime. However, some States have enacted laws and policies restricting or criminalizing provision of medical care to people opposing the State, such as political protestors and non-State armed groups. Laws criminalizing support for terrorists or others opposing the State may also be inappropriately applied to the provision of medical care. Consequently, doctors and other health-care workers have been arrested, charged and sentenced for acting within their professional duty of ensuring medical impartiality. Such laws may deter health-care workers from providing services in conflict situations due to fear of prosecution, thus creating a chilling effect on health-care providers.

Right to health in early childhood - Right to survival and development 2015, para. 84
- Paragraph text
- Intersex refers mainly to physical aspects of the body and includes a wide range of natural body variations that do not conform to prevailing notions of male and female bodies. Deeply rooted stereotypes around gender dichotomy and medical norms about male and female bodies have led to the establishment of a medical practice of routine interventions and surgeries on intersex people, including irreversible genital surgery and sterilization. These interventions are not always necessary on medical grounds and are often not performed with the informed consent of the persons concerned. Moreover, medical classifications currently codify intersex characteristics as pathologies or disorders.

Sports and healthy lifestyles as contributing factors to the right to health 2016, para. 88
- Paragraph text
- A number of entities involved in the organization and operation of major sporting events and competitions incur indirect rights obligations: the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee, and the Fédération internationale de football association (FIFA), among others. These bodies have a vital role to play in implementing policies and activities aimed at realizing the right to health in the sporting context. Enhancement of protection of the human rights of athletes should not be perceived as a threat to the continued operation of major events but rather as a means of increasing the confidence of athletes and the public in the integrity of sporting institutions.

- Agricultural work is associated with particular occupational health risks. For example, exposure to pesticides and other farm chemicals has been linked to elevated distress levels, depression, neurological problems and miscarriages. Heavy and repetitive manual work also places great strain on the body, with associated risks of musculoskeletal injuries. Such risks must be addressed legislatively through enforceable occupational health and safety regulation and mechanisms for remedial action.

- Paragraph text
- Such disciplinary treatments more often than not substitute for evidence-based methods. As a result, many people dependent on heroin and other opioids suffer through unmedicated withdrawal, instead of receiving pharmacologically supported withdrawal or OST. Classifying methadone and buprenorphine as illegal creates an extra barrier to accessing such drug-dependence treatments. Imposition of compulsory treatment, at the expense of OST and other harm-reduction interventions, also increases the risk of disease transmission, particularly HIV/AIDS.
