摘要

澳大利亚维多利亚州政府在向议会提交《2022年精神健康与福利法案》时声称，这项新立法“实现了以权利为基础的精神健康与福利法律的愿景”。本文从地方人权立法和国际人权法两方面对新立法进行了考察。本文主要以《联合国残疾人权利公约》和2006年《维多利亚人权与责任宪章》为依据，认为虽然新立法实际上不是基于权利，但它确实代表了对现有立法的一些与权利相关的改进。该文件最后讨论了如何利用世界卫生组织和联合国的最新指导，将基于权利的立法适用于维多利亚时期的情况。

Does New Mental Health Legislation in Victoria, Australia, Advance Human Rights?

In introducing the Mental Health and Wellbeing Bill of 2022 into Parliament in Victoria, Australia, the state government claimed that the new legislation "delivers on the vision for rights-based mental health and wellbeing laws." This paper examines the new legislation in light of both local human rights legislation and international human rights law. Drawing primarily on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act of 2006, this paper argues that while the new legislation is not, in fact, rights based, it does represent some rights-related improvements over existing legislation. The paper concludes with a discussion of how rights-based legislation could be applied to the Victorian context, using the latest guidance from the World Health Organization and the United Nations.

期刊介绍： Health and Human Rights began publication in 1994 under the editorship of Jonathan Mann, who was succeeded in 1997 by Sofia Gruskin. Paul Farmer, co-founder of Partners In Health, assumed the editorship in 2007. After more than a decade as a leading forum of debate on global health and rights concerns, Health and Human Rights made a significant new transition to an online, open access publication with Volume 10, Issue Number 1, in the summer of 2008. While continuing the journal’s print-only tradition of critical scholarship, Health and Human Rights, now available as both print and online text, provides an inclusive forum for action-oriented dialogue among human rights practitioners.
