The right to mental health 2017, para. 11
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The momentum sustained by civil society towards a paradigm shift has contributed to an evolving human rights framework in the area of mental health. The adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2006 laid the foundation for that paradigm shift, with the aim of leaving behind the legacy of human rights violations in mental health services. The right to the highest attainable standard of health has much to contribute to advancing that shift and provides a framework for the full realization of the right of everyone to mental health.
