Text of the page (random words):
significant role in these developments building on tina s earlier work with wnusp to formulate the norms in the convention text and inform the earliest interpretive documents chrusp activities related to shaping the consensus include submissions to un consultations participation in expert meetings proactive campaigns side events and thematic briefings and more there remain some human rights mechanisms that adhere to pre crpd standards that allow forced psychiatry with procedural safeguards this is a matter for further advocacy through monitoring and enforcement activities a lower human rights standard elsewhere does not change the interpretation of crpd or states parties obligations see our library pages for human rights documents and advocacy materials in areas of interest law reform initiatives law reform for full legal capacity and abolition of forced interventions is a great challenge a few countries peru colombia mexico have recognized full legal capacity for adults and one mexico has recognized the right to full legal capacity specifically in the right to refuse mental health services none of these has yet resulted in the elimination of detention and forced interventions in practice but litigation is under way to enforce the mexican reform in which chrusp has submitted an amicus brief chrusp contributes to law reform in solidarity with dpos at the country level in several ways including through our work on standard setting shaping and refining the consensus on what the crpd requires we pay keen attention to reform initiatives that aim for crpd compliance and promote those that meet the criteria monitoring and enforcement of crpd norms monitoring and enforcement of crpd norms is done through advocacy strategic litigation and reporting to human rights mechanisms this work is essential to change law and policy and to put reforms into practice chrusp promotes shadow reporting by user survivor organizations and the sharing of information about successful reporting work through its extensive networking relationships chrusp regularly supports user survivor organizations in their advocacy and shadow reporting under the crpd and other treaties in the united states where we are based chrusp has advocated the ratification of crpd and submitted shadow reports to available mechanisms this country has not ratified crpd chrusp has submitted amicus briefs and third party interventions to the crpd committee communications procedure under the optional protocol the european court for human rights and the supreme judicial court of mexico education and awareness raising education and awareness raising are a large part of chrusp s work and closely relate to shaping the consensus on interpretation chrusp provides a rich archive of resource materials for advocates through this website and the crpd course site chrusp contributes to building the capacity of all interested parties through un consultations and expert meetings side events webinars and outreach to dpos and allies through international networking forums we often raise leading edge issues in normative development contributing to shaping and refining consensus as new challenges and opportunities emerge we support dpos in particular to understand the crpd norms and how to use them through participation in international networks such as wnusp webinars invited presentations and both formal and informal ongoing relationships of cooperation and information sharing the absolute prohibition campaign is an example of our capacity building and shaping of consensus combined we solicited blog posts to demonstrate civil society support of the crpd absolute prohibition of involuntary commitment and forced treatment after the adoption of the guidelines on article 14 out of that activity we started an email group to share information and promote collaboration extending the analysis e xtending the a nalysis of the crpd to areas previously neglected is needed to complete the normative framework and avoid any loopholes this area of work allows chrusp to follow emerging issues and contribute to them often finding that they become core parts of the consensus criminal law and the rights of prisoners with respect to persons with disabilities are governed by article 14 on liberty and security of the person but article 14 provides little detail advocacy by the world network of users and survivors of psychiatry and tina s individual writings helped to shape consensus on abolition of the insanity defense as a crpd norm the details of a disability justice approach to criminal responsibility remains an active issue along with the application of the article 12 framework for support in exercising legal capacity to justice intermediaries chrusp contributes through the access to justice knowledge hub chrusp has also contributed to normative discussions on the rights of older persons in anticipation of a treaty on this subject that the human rights council has agreed to develop with working discussions beginning in 2026 chrusp works with the global alliance on the rights of older persons in this area history chrusp was conceived during the last year of the negotiations of the convention on the rights of persons with disabilities in 2006 tina minkowitz who had led the work on the convention for the world network of users and survivors of psychiatry saw the need to create a human rights organization led by users and survivors of psychiatry to complement representative bodies like the world network myra kovary and daniel hazen were co founders of chrusp along with tina past board members have included lauren tenney erick fabris adinah caro greene sonjinetta cooper of blessed memory delores jankovich of blessed memory john jones lucila lopez celia brown of blessed memory chrusp initially worked closely in support of wnusp and tina continued to represent wnusp at the united nations our independent activity at that time focused on the united states where chrusp raised awareness about the crpd as an instrument to abolish forced psychiatry and promoted ratification without reservations understandings and declarations both on its own and together with wnusp the international disability alliance and other organizations chrusp has steadily advocated an interpretation of the crpd that supported our full legal capacity liberty and freedom from torture without any exceptions chrusp supports user survivor organizations and allies to contribute to the development of standards under the crpd and change laws and practices throughout the world besides direct collaborations and presenting at conferences and webinars we maintain a library of resources for this human rights work showcased on this site
