Healthy Documents is a compilation of resolutions,
declarations and charters on health made at international meetings and also
related UN instruments, such as international covenants, treaties,
programmes and platforms of action which support these declarations and
which are ratified by various governments. The declarations and UN
instruments are in the areas of medical ethics, health rights, public
health, health and social development, nutrition, children's health and
women's health. The information originally contained on this site was
initially produced from the “Healthy Documents” publication WABA produced in
2001. Eleven years on WABA has worked to update the information on the
occasion of the 3rd Peoples Health Assembly (PHA3), to be held in Cape Town,
South Africa from July 6 to 11, 2012. It is hoped, this updated site, which
now also includes People's Declarations/Statements, continues to be a source
of useful information, and an important action tool for advocacy to promote
people's health.

This website provides access to some of the most important resolutions,
declarations and charters on health made at international meetings. It aims
to support those working to develop healthy policy and practice in whatever
part of the world they live as part of efforts to achieve health for all. It
also showcases the history of two organisations' advocacy work as an
inspiring example of implementing a UN instrument, and in realizing an
international declaration. We would like to hear from you how you use this
website .
