Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Conventions adopted by the United Nations and Council of Europe pay special importance to the treatment of prisoners with mental health problems. Their treatment is close-ly related to respect for human dignity, and the prohibition of torture, cruel and degrading treatment or punishment. The Eu-ropean Court of Human Rights, in many cases, has ruled that the detention of a mentally-ill person can raise issues under Ar-ticle 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights and that the lack of adequate medical care can result in treatment in con-travention of this article. The Republic of Kosovo is not a mem-ber of the United Nations and Council of Europe. However, it has incorporated in its Constitution a number of Conven-tions adopted by the United Nations and Council of Europe. Also, Kosovo has adopted a legal framework which prohibits torture, cruel and degrading treatment or punishment in ac-cordance with the international human rights standards. The Constitution also provides that human rights and fundamen-tal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution shall be interpret-ed in accordance with the case law of the European Court of Human Rights.
METHODS: Review of Ombudsperson\'s, Committee for the Prevention of Torture, Prison Health Department of Kosovo Ministry of Health reports, as well as reports of the NGOs in Kosovo.
摘要:
背景:联合国和欧洲委员会通过的公约特别重视对有精神健康问题的囚犯的待遇。他们的待遇与尊重人的尊严密切相关,以及禁止酷刑,残忍和有辱人格的待遇或惩罚。欧盟人权法院,在许多情况下,已裁定,拘留精神病患者可能会引起《欧洲人权公约》第3条规定的问题,并且缺乏适当的医疗服务可能导致在违反本条的情况下进行治疗。科索沃共和国不是联合国和欧洲委员会的成员。然而,它在其《宪法》中纳入了联合国和欧洲委员会通过的一些公约。此外,科索沃通过了禁止酷刑的法律框架,符合国际人权标准的残忍和有辱人格的待遇或处罚。《宪法》还规定,《宪法》保障的人权和基本自由应根据欧洲人权法院的判例法进行解释。
方法:对监察员的审查,防止酷刑委员会,科索沃卫生部监狱卫生部报告,以及科索沃非政府组织的报告。
