This article explores how the European Court of Human Rights has applied the norms of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in the area of mental health law. The European Court was initially receptive to the CRPD, including the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities' call for a repeal of legislation permitting involuntary psychiatric hospitalisation, but later distanced itself from it. The CRPD has nevertheless influenced how the European Court approached (a) involuntary hospitalisation, (b) separating detention from treatment, (c) restraints and other forms of ill-treatment in institutions, and (d) disability-neutral detention based on disability. Despite the two treaty bodies' different jurisprudential methodology and their different assumptions about the role of medical and legal professionals, the CRPD can continue to influence the European Court in areas such as less restrictive alternatives to coercive treatment, the relevance of capacity, and the importance of personal integrity for mental health treatment.

《残疾人权利公约》对欧洲人权法院在精神健康法领域的影响：分歧和未开发的潜力

本文探讨了欧洲人权法院如何在精神健康法领域适用《联合国残疾人权利公约》（CRPD）的规范。欧洲法院最初接受了《残疾人权利公约》，包括联合国残疾人权利委员会呼吁废除允许非自愿精神病住院治疗的立法，但后来与此保持了距离。尽管如此，《残疾人权利公约》影响了欧洲法院处理以下问题的方式：(a) 非自愿住院，(b) 将拘留与治疗分开，(c) 机构中的限制和其他形式的虐待，以及 (d) 基于残疾的残疾中立拘留。尽管两个条约机构的判例方法不同，对医疗和法律专业人员的作用也有不同的假设，但《残疾人权利公约》可以继续在强制治疗的限制较少的替代方案、能力的相关性以及重要性等领域对欧洲法院产生影响。心理健康治疗中的个人诚信。
