Journal Article
WHO’s QualityRights Initiative
2020
Overview
The authors present this perspective essay which introduces the QualityRights initiative of World Health Organization. The initiative uses a multicomponent framework and strategies to promote mental health systems, services, and practices that prioritize respect for human rights, in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It also describes how the initiative is working to provide practical solutions to promote inclusion, legal capacity, and non-coercive approaches in mental health. Since the adoption of the CRPD in 2006, there has been considerable dialogue, debate, and concerns expressed around the applicability of the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities' interpretations of certain key provisions of the convention as they relate to the area of mental health. Particularly, these concerns refer to the right to equal recognition before the law and to legal capacity and the right to liberty and security of the person.
