prologue
As scientic and technological progress advances, society’s relationships
are becoming more complex. New areas of social interaction are developing
that require regulation to safeguard the interests of individuals and society as
a whole. This has led to the creation of new legal norms and the emergence of
new branches and sub-branches of law. Additionally, boundaries of traditio-
nal legal constructs need to be reviewed.
The right to health is a combination of natural and positive legal founda-
tions that inuence human activity, individual and family well-being, and the
implementation of healthcare guarantees by participating states in global and
regional international agreements. Factors such as biological characteristics,
socio-economic conditions, access to medical and sanitary services, achieve-
ment of national healthcare systems, environmental factors, and belonging to
vulnerable groups, determine the formation of this fundamental right.
Initially, the right to health was considered an inalienable natural right and
freedom accompanying human activity. It represents a signicant accompli-
shment of intergovernmental cooperation in the social and medical elds. The
Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 denes it as: “All individuals
have the right to a standard of living that ensures their health and well-being,
including access to food, clothing, housing, medical care, and essential social
services. Special care and assistance are provided for mothers and children.”
(p.25)1
Western scientists consider the relationship between environmental pro-
tection and economic progress in the context of human rights, linking sus-
tainable development to states’ provision of these interacting components.
In addition, there is an idea to adopt procedural instruments “which would
indirectly ensure the fundamental human right to a safe and healthy envi-
ronment2” based on the example of the European law’s reception of the UN
Convention on access to information, public participation in decision-making
processes, and access to justice on matters related to the environment (the
Aarhus Convention) of 1998.
The inuence of civil society on the formation of this right is conditioned
by its value as a component of a person’s private life and control over com-
pliance with individual condentiality and legal protection of personal data
