Universal Acts Ensure Protection of Citizens' Right to Health Worldwide
The international community has worked to protect the right to health and related rights through various universal acts. These rights are considered second-generation fundamental human rights, focusing on economic, social, and cultural aspects. The main goal is to ensure every citizen receives state assistance for their well-being. Efforts to regulate these rights began in the late 19th century, with more serious development after World War II. Key universal sources include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. These acts aim to improve legal regulation and enhance protection for citizens' health rights on both international and national levels.
