A/HRC/4/28 page 14 50. In recent years, WHO has contributed to the health and human rights movement, as briefly acknowledged in paragraph 10 of this report. Unfortunately, however, neither the member States nor the Secretariat of WHO has provided leadership in this field. The 2005 World Summit urged the “mainstreaming of human rights throughout the United Nations system”, reaffirming a vital component of the Secretary-General’s reform package adopted in 1997.39 But this has not happened within WHO, where the health and human rights agenda has remained marginal, contested and severely under-resourced. This is deeply regrettable because human rights can reinforce, sharpen and invigorate the health policies, programmes and projects of WHO and its member States. The programme of work for 2006-2015 recently adopted by WHO includes seven priority areas, including the promotion of health-related rights. It will be interesting to monitor how this important feature of the WHO programme is implemented. 51. This section, however, focuses on two related obstacles: the inadequate engagement of established human rights NGOs, as well as health professionals, in the health and human rights movement. The section’s main aim is to draw attention to these twin obstacles so that collective consideration can be given to how they might be dismantled. A few preliminary observations, however, are in order about what steps might be taken in relation to the second obstacle, concerning health professionals. 52. As the Special Rapporteur argues in an earlier report, States should build an environment that supports the adoption of rights-based approaches by the health community.40 All bodies responsible for the training of health professionals should integrate human rights education and training at all professional levels. National health professional associations should raise awareness about human rights and stimulate demand for human rights education among their members. The staff of ministries of health, as well as those working in health-related sectors, should become familiar with the complementary relationship between health and human rights. National human rights institutions should provide human rights training for health professionals. Human rights training institutions should include health-related rights in their curricula. 53. WHO has a critical role to play. As a priority, the Secretariat should develop, through broad ranging consultations with member States and other stakeholders, a strategy setting out its mandate, role and priority activities in the area of health and human rights, including national capacity-building. This strategy should be submitted to, and approved by, the WHO governing bodies. Such a strategy will provide WHO with a solid institutional platform for its work in this area of increasing promise and interest. In turn, this will lead to a more systematic application of a human rights-based approach in countries. 54. For their part, those already committed to health-related rights should not overstate the contribution of human rights; after all, human rights do not provide magic solutions to complex health problems. Nonetheless, human rights have a constructive contribution to make - and this contribution cannot be realized without the active support and engagement of large numbers of health professionals.
