¿El derecho a la salud para las personas jóvenes y adolescentes está garantizado en su país? I.e. ¿el gobierno tiene una obligación legal de proveer servicios de salud a las personas jóvenes y adolescentes?
Sí
open/closeDocumento Notas Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy 2002 The right to comprehensive sexuality education and information on sexual and reproductive health has not been recognized and guaranteed in Belize. However, there seems to be a movement towards it according to the National Women’s The Revised National Gender Policy, Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy 2002 and HECOPAB Strategic Plan 2009-2011.
Constitution of Belize To equality, and equal legal protection: Contained within the Preamble (b), s.3 (a) - “and the protection of the law”, s.6(1) - “All persons are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection of the law” and s.16 - discriminatory treatment.
To live free of all forms of discrimination based on their sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression and sexual characteristics: Sex under s.3 and 16(3) and the Constitution. Sexual Orientation is not expressly stated but in the case of Caleb Orozco v Attorney General of Belize, Chief Justice Kenneth Benjamin clarified that ‘sex’ under s.16(3) “is to be interpreted to extend to “sexual orientation.”
YES to life (s.3(a) & s.4(1)), liberty (s.3(a)), security of the person(s.3(a)) all under the Constitution but NO to bodily integrity.
To privacy - Under the Constitution s.3(c) - “his personal privacy, the privacy of his home and other property” and s.14(1) - “A person shall not be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his privacy.”
To freedom of thought (s.11(1)), opinion (s.12(1)) expression (s.3(b)) and to association (s.3(b) and 13.1).
Recognition before the law: Under s.6(1), “all persons are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection of the law.” A person cannot be equal before the law and protected by the law unless the person is first recognized by the law. As such, one can say that by allowing these rights, the law has recognized the person.
The National Women's Commission Part 2 - Revised National Gender Policy 2013 To equality: Under 3.0 Policy Vision - “a society in which all men and women, boys and girls...and are equal partners...for equal enjoyment of all” and 4.0 Guiding Principles - “Recognizing Belize’s international and national commitments to gender equality and equity.”
Pan American Health Organization "Seminar on the Right to Health" Preamble b & e of Constitution. Furthermore, according to the Pan American Health Organization ‘Seminar on the Right to Health,’ it stated that while Belize’s domestic laws do not explicitly mention the words “right to health,” several documents such as the Belize Health Agenda 2007-2011 mention key aspects of the right to health.

Documento Notas Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy 2002 While Belize does have the Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy 2002, it has yet to implement any SRH programs for either the general public or young persons. The Policy addresses the principles and commitments of the government but fails to provide any protocols or guidelines as to how to achieve these commitments and what services must be provided. As such, we do not think that any of these options can be chosen as there are no guidelines to reflect this. If the policy were to be interpreted broadly, certain options can be chosen
