Abstract

Human rights and mental health have a complex and reciprocal relationship. In line with the WHO Quality Rights Initiative and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, international mental health advocacy initiatives have concentrated on promoting human rights within mental health care. A person’s mental health is vital to their overall wellbeing and has to be protected. Access to suitable mental health care services should be guaranteed when needed.

Key Words: Mental Health, Human Right, WHO.
