Background and Objective: This study builds on the benefits of national and international experiences and their evolution as a new academic discipline. The right to health is one of the aspects of human rights, the realization of which is essential for the realization of other human rights and is inextricably linked to the right to life. Given the complexity and development of the relationship between health and rights at the national and international levels, it is necessary to have an overview of this old branch of law, which is today a new academic discipline. Health rights can be examined from different perspectives: bioethics, public health rights, and health care rights. The first is related to ethics, and the second and third are legal approaches to the subject. The right of individuals to determine their own destiny and the right to health are the main issues in these legal approaches.Findings: This study was prepared by reviewing books, collections of articles, laws and regulations related to the legal system of policy-making, management, and supervision in the health system, Right to Health, Public Health Law, Healthcare Law, and Bioethics.Conclusion: The ultimate goal of health rights is to ensure access to all elements of the right to health, including the rights of individuals and populations, especially vulnerable populations. Their legal responsibility is generally at the center of attention in health rights. According to national and international laws, government institutions have a legal responsibility to provide health care, protect health and promote it. These matters include issues related to health care rights, including privacy and confidentiality, legal liability of health care professionals, fraud and financial abuse, as well as food and drug rights, environmental rights, mental health rights and the health rights of vulnerable populations.

Background and Objective: Since the beginning of the 1990s, economic sanctions have been increasingly used by major powers in the western block in order to achieve international political goals. Over the years, economic sanctions have caused violations of the right to health in the targeted countries.Methods: In this article, the impact of sanctions on Iran and other countries is compared and solutions are suggested to reduce the negative effects of sanctions on Iran's economy and health. Also, the best model for dealing with sanctions for Iran's health system was presented.Results: The imposed sanctions are purely economic and based on putting pressure on the governments, but what happened in reality is the violation of the principles of human rights in the countries under sanctions. The severity of these anti-human rights effects is closely related, especially with the duration of sanctions, as well as with the economic foundation of the target country.Conclusion: Iran is not the first country to be sanctioned; Therefore, the adverse effects of sanctions on the people of this country were predictable by the Security Council and the countries that imposed the sanctions. In the future, before applying any economic sanctions, the international community must take effective measures to protect the human rights of the people of the target country. Also, use any political and legal means to prevent the violation of the rights of these people by other countries or international organizations.

Background and Objective: In order to pursue international policies related to the realization of the four dimensions of human rights, including the right to health, states have three obligations: the obligation to respect, the obligation to protect, and the obligation to implement. Also, states are required to take measures, one of which is to assess the extent to which different dimensions of human rights, including the right to health, are realized.Methods: This article was prepared using documents and memoranda of understanding and information from the National Institute of Health Research, books, and scientific articles. Then, efficient methods of policy-making and management of the right to health were presented using an analytical and comparative method.Findings: In general, evaluation indicators are divided into two main types: general and specific indicators. Also, each indicator must have the characteristics of transparency, accuracy, comprehensiveness, validity, and relevance to the subject under evaluation.Conclusion: There are serious concerns regarding the assessment of quality indicators, data collection, harmonization of information from different sources and their integration, as well as the lack of information, due to the overlap and interference of the indicators presented in some areas related to the assessment of the right to health. Also, the national health indicators that have been used in the Islamic Republic of Iran appear to have some flaws. Therefore, by comparing domestic and international indicators, a composite index that links different dimensions and approaches can be achieved.
