Despite the importance of this issue, little work has been done at the national and international level regarding the issue of children's health in the spread of infectious diseases such as Corona (Covid-19). . Therefore, this research examines children's right to health with emphasis on the right to sustainable development in the spread of infectious diseases from the perspective of international law.
Methods: This research has been compiled using library sources and descriptive analytical research method.
Ethical Considerations: The present research has been written with respect to ethical principles, trustworthiness and honesty.
Results: Introduction to the Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Child (1959), introduced development as one of the comprehensive concepts in terms of social growth and improvement of living conditions and freedom. According to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 24 alone is not enough to realize the right to health and it has been supplemented to a significant extent by other provisions of the Convention. On the other hand, the Children's Rights Committee has emphasized the unbreakable connection between broad, fair and sustainable development in the realization of children's rights by providing equal opportunities in access to basic resources, including health and a healthy and safe environment for children.
Conclusion: Since the sustainable development goals are an important milestone in the commitments of the international community in achieving the goals of human rights in the right to health, but the traditional patterns of economic development and growth are not enough by themselves. Therefore, international cooperation is necessary to reduce or remove obstacles to development and create an international document in order to establish and implement the standards of the right to development in children's health.
