Dokumentation zum 10. Symposium der schweizerischen Gesundheitszusammenarbeit: "Gesundheit - ein Menschenrecht", Basel, 8. November 2011
The Joint Action and Learning Initiative, PLoS Medicine: "A coalition of civil society organizations and academics are initiating a Joint Action and Learning Initiative on National and Global Responsibilities for Health (JALI) to research key conceptual questions involving health rights and responsibilities, with the goal of securing a global health agreement and supporting civil society mobilization around the human right to health."
Towards a Framework Convention on the Right to Health, Section27: "When it comes to the right to health the threads need to be pulled together. Something more concrete and more directive is needed. This is the context in which we believe that a FCRH (Framework Convention on the Right to Health) could assist to simplify explanations of the ambit and duties created by the right to health and prioritise health at a global level. A FCRH would entrench the notion that on issues of fundamental human rights which cut across national boundaries, states have primary responsibility."
Soziale Medizin: "Gesundheit ist ein Menschenrecht: Das ist der oft vergessene Kern der Gesundheitspolitik und der Gesundheitszusammenarbeit. Das Recht auf Gesundheit ist aber lange noch nicht erreicht. Unterdessen liegen aber konkrete Vorschläge vor, die auch die Schweizer Politik interessieren müssten."
"Das vorliegende Papier legt die Position der deutschen Entwicklungspolitik zum Menschenrechtsansatz in der gesundheitsbezogenen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit dar." (pdf; BMZ Spezial 162, Juli 2009, 18 Seiten)
WHO Information Sheet: "The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the WHO have issued an information sheet on a Human Rights-Based Approach to Health (HRBA). A human rights-based approach (HRBA) aims to support better and more sustainable development outcomes by analyzing and addressing the inequalities, discriminatory practices (de jure and de facto) and unjust power relations which are often at the heart of development problems."
Leslie London in Health and Human Rights: "We live in a world where inequalities in health and economic development continue to pervade our development trajectory and where exclusion from social systems remains the most fundamental obstacle to realizing human potential worldwide. Can the integration of human rights approaches into our health and social policies offer us any opportunities for addressing these key challenges?"
