Abstract

This paper is the second part of a two-part study concerning the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights ECtHR or the Court on the right to health and health-related issues in connection with the rights protected under the European Convention on Human Rights ECHR or the Convention and its additional Protocols. Although the case-law of the ECtHR to date has been far from establishing a theoretical basis for the right to health and health-related issues under the Convention, it still remains the most effective tool for promoting the right to health in international human rights law. In the predecessor paper to this one, the general issues with regard to health and treatment services, privacy, protection of and access to personal data relating to medical and health conditions and lastly the health related issues concerning vulnerable groups in the light of ECtHR jurisprudence were analysed. This paper intends to examine the remaining issues concerning the right to health and health-related issues in the case-law of the ECtHR under the three main headings of the equality and prohibition of discrimination in health services, health and environment and bioethical issues

Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi Kararlarında Sağlık Hakkı - II

Abstract

Bu makale, Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesi AİHS veya Sözleşme ve Ek Protokollerde güvenceye alınan hak ve özgürlüklerle bağlantılı olarak Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi’nin AİHM veya Mahkeme sağlık hakkı ve sağlıkla ilgili konular hakkındaki kararlarını ele alan ve iki bölümden oluşan çalışmanın, ikinci bölümünü oluşturmaktadır. Bugüne kadar verilen AİHM kararları her ne kadar AİHS kapsamında sağlık hakkı ve sağlıkla ilgili konularda bir teorik temel oluşturmaktan uzak olsa da, uluslararası insan hakları hukukunda sağlık hakkının geliştirilmesinde en etkili araç olmayı sürdürmektedir. Konuyla ilgili önceki çalışmada, AİHM kararları çerçevesinde sağlık ve tedavi hizmetleriyle ilgili genel sorunlar, gizlilik, sağlıkla ilgili kişisel verilerin korunması ve kişisel tıbbi kayıtlara erişim ile son olarak korunmaya muhtaç bazı grupların sağlık sorunları ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışmada ise AİHM kararlarında sağlık hakkı ve sağlıkla ilgili görülen diğer sorunlar arasında sağlıkta eşitlik ve ayrımcılık yasağı, çevre ve sağlık, ayrıca biyoetik ile ilgili konular üç ana başlık altında incelenmektedir.
