The principles of the Universal Declaration were translated into treaties, thus States that ratified them are legally bound by the terms and conditions of the treaties. Eight international human right treaties have been adopted up to 2007: (Women’s health and human rights, 2007).

• International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1965).

• International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966).

• International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966).

• International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (1979).

• Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (1984).

• Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989).

• International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (2002).

• Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights and Dignity of Persons with Disabilities (2006).

        Every World Health Organization (WHO) Member State has sanctioned, formally consented to be legally bound by at least one human rights treaty, all of which have a direct or an indirect impact on the promotion and safeguarding of the right to health and health-related rights.
