Every human being has the fundamental right to live freely and safely anywhere on Planet Earth. This includes the right to a healthy environment, the right to physical and mental well-being, and the right to a peaceful life without conflict or harm.

Protecting human health means promoting clean living conditions and reducing exposure to substances that are damaging or dangerous — including harmful drugs, alcohol, toxic and unhealthy biological substances that jeopardize long-term wellness.

Our shared goal is a world where people can move, live, and grow without fear, supported by global cooperation and a collective commitment to health, peace, and human dignity. 

The right to live is the most fundamental human right. Every person has the inherent right to life, safety, and physical integrity. Modern legal systems protect this right through strict laws that penalize actions that threaten or harm human life or health.

Crimes Against Life and Physical Integrity

Crimes that endanger or violate a person’s life or bodily safety are among the most severely punished. Depending on national legislation, these crimes often include:

• Homicide and attempted homicide
  Penalties: Long-term imprisonment, commonly ranging from 10 to 25 years or more.

• Serious bodily harm or assault
  Penalties: 1 to 12 years of imprisonment, depending on severity and intent, plus fines.

These penalties exist to protect the physical integrity and well-being of all individuals.

Crimes Related to Harmful Substances

To safeguard public health, legal systems also regulate or prohibit the trafficking of dangerous or harmful substances:

• Weapons trafficking
  Penalties: Heavy fines and 5 to 20 years of imprisonment.

• Drug trafficking (illegal narcotics)
  Penalties: Very severe, often 10 to 30 years depending on quantity and type.

• Illegal alcohol production or distribution
  Penalties: High fines and up to 5 years of imprisonment.

• Contraband tobacco or smuggling
  Penalties: Fines and 1 to 5 years of imprisonment.

These activities pose serious risks to health and safety and are therefore treated as major offenses.

Toward Healthier, Responsible Markets

In contrast, legal, healthy, and socially beneficial sectors are supported by governments, institutions, and communities. This includes:

• Technology and digital services

• Education and training platforms

• Health and wellness industries

• Sustainable tourism

• Clean food production

• Culture, design, and creative businesses

• Environmentally conscious commerce

These sectors promote economic growth while preserving human health, dignity, and safety.

A Shared Global Commitment

The right to live is universal. Protecting life means reducing harm, preventing dangerous markets, encouraging safe and healthy business practices, and building societies where every individual can rise in safety and dignity.

A world that values life is a world that invests in health, education, peace, and well-being for all.
