Abstract

Mental healthcare respecting human rights is a worldwide need, yet research into practices that support such rights is limited. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, 2006 and the United Nations Resolution on mental health and psychosocial support, 2023 each heighten the urgency and the legal, as well as moral, social, political and other obligations to improve the quality of mental healthcare and respect human rights worldwide. It is useful to be specific about the actions to be taken, as done in recent programmes by the World Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization. The work requires partnerships at all levels, from global to local, among healthcare professionals, people with lived experience and their families, communities and policy-makers. We present a themed series of papers developed in two parts: one related to principles of human rights-based mental healthcare; the other to assessment, policy and actions needed for tackling the implementation gap.

基于人权的精神保健：新发展，介绍主题系列文件。

尊重人权的精神保健是全世界的需要，但对支持这些权利的做法的研究有限。《2006年联合国残疾人权利公约》和《2023年联合国关于精神卫生和社会心理支持的决议》都强调了在世界范围内提高精神卫生保健质量和尊重人权的紧迫性，以及法律、道德、社会、政治和其他义务。如世界精神病学协会和世界卫生组织在最近的方案中所做的那样，具体说明将要采取的行动是有益的。这项工作需要从全球到地方各级的卫生保健专业人员、有实际经验的人及其家庭、社区和决策者之间建立伙伴关系。我们提出了主题系列论文，分为两部分：一部分涉及基于人权的精神保健原则；另一个是解决执行差距所需的评估、政策和行动。
