Mental Health as a Human Right

This new column provides an overview of mental health reforms in Latin America and the Caribbean. Progress has been particularly visible in countries that have implemented policies with strong political support (Brazil, Chile, and Belize, among others). However, lessons may be learned from the collective experience of a region that has faced multiple obstacles to reform. Available resources are still insufficient and inequitably distributed, reform implementation is not complete in most countries, and high levels of unmet need exist. Countries face new challenges related to growing psychosocial problems affecting children and adolescents and increasing violence, which require new responses from mental health services.

There is a need for African people living in Australia to consider leveraging Ubuntu values as a cultural strength to address mental health and emotional wellbeing issues. for African people living in Australia. This paper is a systematic review research which employed key terms such as mental health, emotional wellbeing, African Australian, Young people. There were no participants involved, however the research articles that were reviewed in the study only focused on the African Australian community. Mental health issues among African Australian youth need to be better understood, as studies have shown they are at a higher risk for mental health, yet there has been insufficient research on the topic. In this study, most articles we employed highlighted that the extensive research on that reported migrants to be at ten times higher risk of experiencing mental health issues compared to the general population. Many studies carried out in the African Australian community have drawn more attention to the African Australian culture. This raises the need for research to be conducted on African Australian young people aged 15-29 years which is the Australian age range of a young person, to sensitize the African Australian community on mental health issues, and factors leading to young people's mental health problems in African Australian society. The aim of the study was to raise awareness about mental health issues facing the African, Australian young people and suggesting ways forward to support young people. The finding of the study demonstrates significance and values to address mental health issues in African-Australian Community groups. Research asserted that young immigrants are at greater risk of developing mental illness due to resettlement, cultural transition, and separation from extended family members. Young people lacking a secure base for emotional support from their families are more likely to face mental health issues in their lives. Mental health issues in the African context may not be categorized as a vast problem, but instead identified as life circumstances that every individual encounter. Since mental health subject is a taboo in the African culture, the study encouraged young people to pair up with other African youths to create awareness and advocate to access mental health services should need arise. This study encourages young people and their families from African heritage to leverage Ubuntu values and principles as their cultural strengths in dealing with challenging issues such as mental health and emotional wellbeing issues.

Providing Mental Health Services within Community Geriatric Interdisciplinary Teams: Challenges and Successes

Background Discriminatory acts against individual freedom rights in the context of human rights and dignity in Indonesia have been in the international spotlight due to human rights violations for years. Although the condition of individuals with mental disorders in Indonesia is quite worrying when viewed from the context of human rights; however, some basic mental health services are not available in most parts of the country. Methods This qualitative research uses secondary data such as health literature, social scientific, and national legal studies. The thematic analysis in this study concentrates on answering different research questions. However, this study encountered limited scope on two grounds; the first focuses on whether the National Mental Health Act (MHA) meets the basics set by the principles of CRPD. The second was the impact of other different rights on people with mental disorders. Results The results of this study on the number of cases of shackles and the differences between International Mental Health standards and the Indonesian Mental Health Act are also presented. A total of 23 studies have been used to determine the result from the analysis. It has been observed that adequate knowledge and awareness of people about mental retardation and health issues guide to the poor attitude as well as treatment of them. As per the report of Human Rights Watch in 2019, approximately 57,000 individuals with mental illness have been humiliated once in their overall lifetime in Indonesia. Conclusions The tradition of shackles (pasung) has resulted in ongoing suffering due to ineffective actions that violate human freedom and are contrary to human values. The Indonesian government should provide proper facilities for individuals with mental disorders to protect and cure them the people who have mental disorders and structure its laws more strongly.

Human rights are universal fundamental protections worth of all individuals, including those with mental health conditions. However, these rights are often observed violated in mental health care settings, where individuals may face forced treatment, isolation, and degrading conditions. Despite global advocacy efforts, to ensuring that these rights are respected, continues to be a challenge for healthcare professionals and the general public. This review examines the current awareness of human rights among mental health professionals and the public, identifies the knowledge gaps, and highlights the recent developments in policy and practice aimed at improving human rights in mental health care. A comprehensive search of academic databases identified relevant studies published between 2019 and 2024. Findings suggest a promising level of public knowledge about human rights, yet negative attitudes and stigma persist. While improvements in mental health services have been observed among healthcare professionals; resource limitations and a lack of social support remain challenging. A gap between knowledge and practice is evident, necessitating further education and training to ensure a deeper understanding of human rights complexities in mental healthcare. Overall, this review underscores the importance of continued efforts to raise awareness and advocate for the human rights of individuals with mental health conditions. By implementing educational and sensitization programs, a supportive environment can be created that empowers them to seek help without fear of discrimination.

Mitigating the impacts of racism on Indigenous wellbeing through human rights, legislative and health policy reform.

Modern processes of globalization cause the transformation of the substantive aspect of human rights, which requires their scientific substantiation. The article will introduce the theoretical and methodological study of the cultural rights of the individual, as well as the issues of their implementation in the modern world under the influence of socio-economic, political and spiritual transformations. As a result of the analysis, the axiological concept of the realization of cultural rights by a person is shown, as well as the relationship with other, important, human rights is demonstrated; objective and subjective indicators that contradict the protection and implementation of cultural human rights are determined. The comparative legal analysis of the norms of Constitutions, national laws and international legal acts in the field of recognition and realization of cultural rights has revealed reformational trends in the field of their legal regulation in democratic states of the world. Based on the lack of a unified doctrinal theory of cognition of cultural rights, the adoption of a universal strategic international legal document designed to support the implementation of individual cultural rights in modern society - the "International Action Program for the development of an effective mechanism for the implementation of individual cultural rights in the field of integration" is recommended in the international arena. The purpose of this scientific article is to provide a comprehensive description of the problems of the realization of cultural rights and the formation of a holistic view of their further development in the conditions of modern globalization processes. While paying tribute to the theoretical and practical significance of this scientific heritage, it should be recognized that the realization of cultural rights in the context of globalization processes remains little explored. There are no generalizing, synthesizing works on the indicated problems. The article examines some aspects of the development of individual rights in an integrating world by the example of human rights in the field of culture. In this direction, the essence of the word "globalization" and the meaning of cultural rights are revealed. The article analyzes the version of cultural rights in various international legal instruments and in the general comments adopted by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. And also, the article establishes the place of cultural human and civil rights in the general structure of individual rights. The paper shows the specific features of the cultural rights of the individual. Based on the conducted research, it is concluded that the state is the subject of setting priorities in policy in the field of cultural issues, which also follow from its main tasks in this area. The results of the study can be used in goal-setting in the field of education and the design of normative legal acts in the field of education and human rights.
