Abstract   (342 Views)
Aims: The purpose of this study is to look into the scientific literature's shifting position on the right to health and human rights-based approaches to health among Indonesian war veterans.
Materials & Method: According to this study, Indonesian veterans uphold a number of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights principles in their constitution and even use them in the medical field. Through the use of qualitative methods and a constructivist theoretical approach, literature studies are conducted by gathering data from books, reports, news articles, and journal articles.
Results: According to our analysis, there are notable variations in how human rights frameworks and procedures are implemented for veterans of war in the medical field.
Findings: There are compelling reasons to approach health from a human rights standpoint, but as an examination of various human rights guidelines demonstrates, doing so risks undermining the right to health. Undermining the right to health can jeopardize both the right to health and rights-based approaches to health because the right to health has significant and distinct characteristics that other rights do not.
Conclusion: The author recommends using a sustainable constructive approach to adopt the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and advocate for the explicit inclusion of the right to health in a rights-based framework that is interpreted according to both public law and human rights law.
