Harm reduction for sustainable peace and development - Report of the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health
Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health
Purpose of the mandate
For millions of people throughout the world, the full enjoyment of the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health remains a distant goal. In many cases, this goal is becoming even harder to reach. This is especially true for those in vulnerable situations including, among others:
indigenous peoples, migrants and refugees, internally displaced people, people affected by extreme poverty, minority communities, people with disabilities, people who live in residential institutions, people in detention, people who use drugs, LGBT and gender diverse persons.
