On May 24 the Committee on Bioethics approved the Draft Additional Protocol and decided to send it to the different committees/bodies of the Council of Europe for consultation, namely to the Steering Committee on Human Rights (CDDH), the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT), the CoE Commissioner for Human Rights, the CoE Parliamentary Assembly as well as the conference of INGOs. These bodies have until the end of October to submit their comments. Therefore, there is a need to address all the above mentioned bodies and inform them about our position. ENUSP together with EDF, MHE and other allies will continue to ask to #WithdrawOviedo
As part of the awareness raising campaign, MHE prepared a video clip which contains the brief summary of negative remarks the Draft Additional Protocol received during the UN Consultation on Human Rights and mental health in Geneva. Jolijn Santegoeds, Co-chair of WNUSP and Board member of ENUSP is among the speakers.
