THE CONCEPT AND TYPES OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL LAW NORMS ON HEALTHCARE IN THE NATIONAL LEGISLATION

Abstract

In modern doctrine, there is no single approach to defining the concept and identifying ways to implement international legal norms in domestic legislation. However, many legal scholars agree that by signing international treaties, agreements, and conventions, the states thereby take measures to implement such norms into the domestic legislation. The article defines the concept of implementation and characterizes the main ways of implementing international legal norms into national legislation by transformation and incorporation. The author provides examples of implementing international legal norms into the legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Moreover, the author considers the opinions of legal scholars on the essence of certain methods of implementation and the possibility of their application in relation to the law of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The author also draws attention to the fact that the main implemented elements are procedures, institutions, normative legal acts, principles, values, and legal ideas. In addition, the implementation of international law in the field of healthcare is also one of the important requirements for integration into the globalized world. The implementation of these norms in the field of healthcare is the main form of fulfilling the international obligations of states. Therefore, it is established that the implementation of healthcare legal norms into national legislation is the adaptation of national legal and organizational means to national legislation on healthcare.
