Una visión más realista de la Convención sobre los derechos de las personas con discapacidad

Abstract

In this article, we critically analyze the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. A realistic view should be taken into account when the text is applied in persons with mental illness. Two clinical situations will be revised in light of the Convention: informed consent and substitute decision-making. This interpretation states that the application of the Convention in Mental Health will respect satisfactory human rights of persons with disability.
