Abstract
Today, people with disabilities face a huge number of problems, especially the realization of the right to health. Realization and protection is an urgent issue both for Russia and for the international community as a whole.
The formation of the right to health for people with disabilities is considered to be one of the fundamental human rights. At the international level, there is no comprehensive approach to studying the formation of the very content of the right to health. The provisions on the right to health contained in the main international human rights agreements recognize the inadmissibility of discrimination in all its forms in the realization of this right. The issue of the general status of persons with disabilities in international law and the specifics of international protection of the right to health of persons with disabilities is particularly relevant. Providing convincing evidence that the right to health of persons with disabilities is an integral element of the right to health in general, it is noted that the right to health of persons with disabilities is influenced by the following factors: social, cultural, economic, which together have an impact on the physical and mental health of persons with disabilities. It emphasizes the importance of specifying the definition of the “right to health of persons with disabilities” and determining the role of the right to health of persons with disabilities in the system of international law.
