Abstract (2. Language): 
The origin of international cooperation on public health is based on the purpose of preventing the spread of epidemics such as cholera and plague in the Western Europe in 19th century with minimum interference to international trade and traffic. To achieve this goal, especially European states convened international health conferences, made conventions related to international health matters and established international health organizations for administering these conventions. The World Health Organization (WHO) was established to act as the directing and co-ordinating authority on international health work after the Second World War and was granted normative powers to set standards related to public health. The ultimate purpose of this study is examining normative functions of the WHO in the light of both evolution in international public health cooperation and related articles of the WHO Constitution and practice. To this aim, normative instruments adopted by the World Health Assembly are analyzed with various examples. The conclusion is that the Assembly not only adopts recommendations as flexible instruments in setting health-related standards but also adopts legally binding conventions or regulations when it deems necessary.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Halk sağlığı alanında işbirliğinin kökeni 19. yüzyılda Batı Avrupa’da görülen kolera ve veba gibi salgın hastalıkların yayılmasının uluslararası ticarete ve dolaşıma asgarî müdahale ile önlenmesi amacına dayanmaktadır. Bu amaca ulaşmak için başta Avrupalı devletler uluslararası sağlık konferansları düzenlemiş, uluslararası sağlık meselelerine ilişkin sözleşmeler akdetmiş ve bu sözleşmelerin uygulanmasını sağlamak üzere sağlık alanında uluslararası örgütler kurmuşlardır. II. Dünya Savaşının ardından uluslararası sağlık çalışmalarında yönlendirici ve eşgüdümü sağlayıcı makam olarak faaliyette bulunmak üzere Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) kurulmuş ve bu örgüte halk sağlığına ilişkin standartların belirlenmesinde normatif yetkiler verilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın nihaî amacı DSÖ’nün normatif işlevinin hem halk sağlığı alanındaki uluslararası işbirliğinin gelişimi hem de DSÖ Anayasasının ilgili hükümleri ve uygulama ışığında incelenmesidir. Bu amaçla Dünya Sağlık Asamblesi tarafından kabul edilen normatif belgeler çeşitli örnekleriyle birlikte incelenmektedir. Sonuç olarak Asamble sağlığa ilişkin standartların belirlenmesinde esnek birer araç olarak yalnızca tavsiyeleri değil, gerekli gördüğü durumlarda hukuken bağlayıcı olan sözleşmeleri veya tüzükleri de kabul edebilmektedir.
