Stop coercion in mental health! #WithdrawOviedo
The draft Additional Protocol to the #OviedoConvention violates human rights by allowing for the continued use of involuntary treatment and placement in psychiatry, which increases coercion, and is prohibited under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (#CRPD #UNCRPD).
Join the #EuropeanDisabilityForum's campaign opposing the draft Additional Protocol and urge the #CouncilOfEurope to withdraw it!

The proposed #UKGov #PIP Law actually appears to be unlawful!
‘The legal opinion says: “there can be no doubt that the reforms are regressive in #HumanRights terms. Therefore, in accordance with the principle of non-retrogression, they are presumed to be prohibited under #UNCRPD, #ICESCR and #UNCRC. Accordingly, the burden falls on the Government to show that despite the regressive nature of the reforms, they are complying with their obligations under the Treaties.”’

“The #UK signed the #disabilities convention in 2009, but it has still not been incorporated into British law.
In 2016, an inquiry by the #UN's Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (#UNCRPD) found that the UK was in breach of three of the Convention's articles
The same inquiry found that welfare reforms introduced since 2010 had "adversely" affected #disabled people.”#DisabilityRights #DisabilityDiscrimination #DisabilityHate #DisabilityDeath

#UK still officially failing #disabled folk, that is 1:5 Brits.
“The [#UN] Committee [#UNCRPD] finds that the State party has failed to take all appropriate measures to address grave and systematic violations of the human rights of persons with disabilities and has failed to eliminate the root causes of inequality and discrimination…”

“We see a reform agenda [in the UK] that is framed in a political narrative that demonises disabled people including proposals to cut disability benefits to reward working people… that tells disabled people that they are underserving citizens… coupled with an onerous and complex social benefits system that is the basis for trauma and preventable mental distress.”

I honestly thought the UN CRPD – United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities* – was a dead certainty for incorporation into UK law
After all, the UK ratified the treaty in July 2009, under the last (New) Labour government, so it’s been a long time coming
But it seems that the enfeebled Labour opposition under Keir Starmer really don’t want to do anything the Tories wouldn’t do: https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/labour-admits-dropping-disability-rights-pledge-from-policy-plan/
At least the Scottish Government have long made it clear that they intend to incorporate the CRPD north of the border (well, at least as far as devolved powers permit**): https://www.gov.scot/policies/disabled-people/uncrpd/
*Or in the UK, disabled people (social model)
**Not that those count for much any more, after Westminster has shown willingness to use the ‘nuclear’ Section 35 option to overrule the Scottish democratic process

#UKgov has treated #disabled folk badly since 2010. The #MinisterForDisabled changes often. #Pursglove failed to point out that the last review was quashed by the Courts & that UK is only country formally investigated by #UN for breaches of #UNCRPD and found to be failing across the board.
