Abstract

|
For the understanding and achievement of the right to health, it needs to recognize the principle of the indivisibility, interdependence and interrelatedness of human rights. This study seeks to review the conceptions, and to investigate the previous domestic understanding of the right to health, and the relations between the right to health and other human rights. A content analysis was employed to analyse the 386 Korean dissertations and journal articles relating to the right to health from 1990 to 2014. As a result, while only a few documents mention the principle of human rights, 66.3% of all documents mention the relations between the right to health and other human rights. In terms of the indivisibility of human rights, Korean scholarly understanding of the right to health is discouraging because of leaning toward economic, social, and cultural rights. In terms of the indivisibility, interdependence and interrelatedness of human rights, the relations between the right to health and other human rights mentioned by Korean scholarly literature have multiple dimensions and complexity, yet, it is the very phenomenon that the right to health is embedded in human rights in Korean context. In future, the indivisibility principle needs to be properly reflected in understanding the meaning of the right to health, and we need to pay more attention to realization process, public participation, inductive approach, human rights impact assessment, governance while recognizing the right to health embedded in human rights.
