In this article, we examine the essential role of law in achieving the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Following the World Health Organization's broad definition of health, all SDGs can be seen to impact on human health and hence the health goal (SDG3) should be right at the centre of the entire 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We note recent research on the contribution of law, including international human rights law, to achieving health for all and discuss the role of law in addressing seven emerging health challenges. Law can and should play an important role in achieving all health-related SDGs, by respecting, protecting and fulfilling the right to health, ensuring that no one is left behind.
本文探讨了法律在实现与健康相关的可持续发展目标(SDGs)方面的重要作用。根据世界卫生组织对健康的广义定义,所有 SDG 都可以被视为对人类健康产生影响,因此健康目标(SDG3)应该处于整个 2030 年可持续发展议程的核心位置。我们注意到最近关于法律(包括国际人权法)对实现全民健康的贡献的研究,并讨论了法律在应对七大新出现的健康挑战方面的作用。法律可以而且应该在实现所有与健康相关的 SDG 方面发挥重要作用,尊重、保护和实现健康权,确保没有人掉队。
