Comprehensive systems of government-delivered universal health care

/in /by

In 2016, the UN General Assembly adopted a Resolution on State-provided Health Care. The Resolution expressed “total support for the right of all persons, however needy, to be provided, directly by their governments, with the health care of the highest available quality.” It went on to call on all states to “institute, without further delay, comprehensive systems of government-delivered universal health care” for all persons within their jurisdictions. Several states, including several major states, spoke out strongly against the Resolution, but after a vote, it was adopted by a large majority (181 in favor, 5 opposed, 8 abstentions). One delegate gave a speech proclaiming that “the Resolution represents a significant development in international public health law” and the UN General Assembly had instituted “a firm global commitment to universal government-delivered health for all.”
The positions of States X, Y, and Z on this matter are as follows:
State X voted in favor of the Resolution. It issued a statement that praised the Resolution as “a statement of international law.” However, it went on to say that “certain unfortunate and unavoidable economic constraints preclude the government of State X from implementing the Resolution immediately.” The statement continued: “When the economic climate is sufficiently improved, State X undertakes to give prompt and full effect to the terms of the Resolution.”
State Y also voted in favor of the Resolution. It also, however, expressed concern about the compatibility of the Resolution with a pre-existing treaty obligation, which committed it to safeguard “the right of private enterprise to play the predominant role in health-care delivery” in State Y.
State Z voted against the Resolution. In a statement, it noted that “the government of State Z is of the opinion that the resolution is utopian and aspirational, and consequently is wholly devoid of legal significance.”
To what extent, if any, is EACH of these states (X, Y, and Z) legally bound by the contents of the Resolution? In each case, explain the reasons for your conclusion.
