It covers health in the World Health Organization (WHO) constitution, the right to health in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), health in the United Nations human rights treaty system, and the right to health in the regional treaty system. It then turns to the scope of the right to health, which covers both specific elements of the health system (obligations) and the realization of other human rights that contribute to health (specific health-related human rights). The final section discusses the means and methods implementing the right to health.en-USinternational human rightsright to healthunited nations declaration of human rightshealth systemMonograph or Book2015-06-05Stephen P.
