For example, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICCHR) of the International Covenant on Human Rights states that "States Parties to this Covenant recognize that everyone has the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health" (Article 12, paragraph 1).
