A HUMAN RIGHT
As part of the 13th World Congress on Pain in Montreal and the world’s first International Pain Summit, hosted by the International Association for the Study of Pain in September 2010, delegates from 129 countries supported a Declaration that Access to Pain Management is a Fundamental Human Right.

The principles of the Declaration have been endorsed by the Institute of Medicine and the World Medical Association WMA). At the 62nd General Assembly, the WMA adopted a Resolution on the Access to Adequate Pain Treatment, which states that denial of pain treatment violates the right to health and might be medically unethical.

This information and the document attached directly correlate with this petition, and thus I feel I need to amend the petition to ask Australia to follow the principles outlined.
