The first one offers an overview of problems in the sphere of trade relations and public health, the second one focuses on the labour rights and Core labour standards. The goal of the article is to outline the problems of the legislation in the sphere of trade relations, to provide society with greater insights into the relationship between labour rights, public health and International trade. Research methodology includes the study and analysis of operation of the trade system in WTO and trade health policy. It should be noted that the trade convention can also violate human rights, such as the right to health, directly or indirectly.
