All European countries are now facing a situation where a part of the population consists of migrants without a permit to stay or reside. These persons may have health problems, and the question then rises regarding health services to irregular migrants. Normally, welfare benefits are offered those with a relationship to the country concerned, as citizen, asylum seeker, tourist, etc. Irregular migrants are outside the society, and it could be suggested that they therefore should be denied health services. On the other hand, common European standards of humanity lay obligations on the States, for example, where situations are life-threatening. This contribution gives an overview of relevant legal instruments, both from the UN, Council of Europe and the European Union. Although there are many similarities, the instruments have their differences, and there may even be some tensions regarding the underlying values.
一部分人口是没有合法居留许可的移民。这些人可能存在健康问题，于是就出现了为非法移民提供医疗服务的问题。通常情况下，福利是提供给与相关国家有特定关系的人，比如公民、寻求庇护者、游客等。非法移民处于社会之外，有人可能会建议因此拒绝为他们提供医疗服务。另一方面，欧洲共同的人道标准对各国规定了义务，例如在生命受到威胁的情况下。本论文概述了来自联合国、欧洲委员会和欧盟的相关法律文书。尽管有许多相似之处，但这些文书也存在差异，甚至在基本价值观方面可能存在一些矛盾。
