General ­Comment No. 14 – The right to the h ­ ighest attainable standard of health, 2000 According to Paragraph 8, “The right to health is not to be understood as a right to be healthy. The right to health contains both freedoms and entitlements. The freedoms include the right to control one’s health and body, including sexual and reproductive freedom, and the right to be free from interference, such as the right to be free from torture, non-consensual medical treatment and experimentation. By contrast, the entitlements include the right to a system of health protection which provides equality of opportunity for people to enjoy the highest ­attainable level of health.” Paragraph 9 further explains, “Consequently, the right to health must be understood as a right to the enjoyment of a variety of ­facilities, goods, services and conditions necessary for the realization of the ­highest attainable standard of health.” According to Paragraph 11, “The Committee interprets the right to health, as defi ned in article 12.1, as an inclusive right extending not only to timely and appropriate health care but also to the underlying determinants of health, such as access to safe and potable water and adequate sanitation, an adequate supply of safe food, nutrition and housing, healthy occupational and environmental conditions, and access to health-related education and information, including on sexual and reproductive health. A further important aspect is the participation of the population in all health-related decision-making at the community, national and international levels.” 126
