IV. >> Illustrating the Framework - Indicators for Some Rights >> Selecting the indicators are “sexual and reproductive health”, “child mortality and health care”, “natural and occupational environment”, “prevention, treatment and control of diseases”, and “accessibility to health facilities and essential medicines”. These attributes relate to provisions under article 12 (2) and the emphasis in general comment No. 14 (2000) on the need to address some topics of broad application. After ensuring that these attributes collectively reflect the normative content of the right, two types of structural indicators have been identified. These relate to the legal and the attendant institutional set-up and the relevant policy framework and policy statements for implementing the human rights obligations of the State. An indicator on civil society organizations has also been identified to reflect their important role in the implementation of the right to health. This is followed by the identification of process indicators principally covering the measures that could be taken by the State through its administrative agencies in fulfilling its obligations to implement the right to health. Thus, there are indicators related to the extension of medical services and essential medication, awareness-raising and providing public health services. There are also indicators identified on judicial and quasi-judicial remedies and the role of international cooperation in realizing the right. Finally, there are negative and positive outcome indicators that allow a summary assessment of the realization of the right to health, or its specific attributes. The normative as well as the empirical basis for including some of the indicators is developed in the corresponding metadata sheet. Table on the right to non-discrimination and equality Non-discrimination and equality are cross-cutting human rights or principles which are invoked in all international human rights instruments, starting with articles 1, 2 and 7 of the Universal Declaration. There are difficulties in translating the normative narrative on the right to non-discrimination and equality into a set of mutually exclusive and exhaustive attributes and corresponding indicators. Discrimination or nondiscrimination may often not be directly observable and may not be easily isolated from the realization of other human rights either. While different methods and sources can be used to measure discrimination (see box 23), common socioeconomic statistics that may reveal patterns of discrimination only indirectly are often relied upon. The realization of the right to non-discrimination may also be easier to define in the context of other human rights. For instance, appropriately disaggregated statistics on the labour markets (e.g., unemployment rates disaggregated by sex or ethnic origin and level of qualification) can provide useful information on possible discrimination in the realization of the right to work. Also, methods for directly measuring systemic discrimination, impairing population groups’ enjoyment of their right to work, have been developed and implemented in a number of countries (see box 24). article 24 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, articles 28 and 43 (1) (e) of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, article 25 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the work of the Special Rapporteur on the right to health, Paul Hunt, were also useful in identifying the attributes and the indicators on the right to health.
