NPM in psychiatric hospitals – part III

It is necessary to distinguish the situations when a medicine is used as “treatment” or as “restraint”.

NPM has the responsibility to advocate against the stigma on people with mental disabilities.

We should also remember that the NPM is not the only measure prescribed by the Convention against Torture to prevent torture.

How should we determine the nature of those treatments and determine whether they reach the level of ill-treatment?

It’s the NPM’s responsibility to continue monitoring and pressure for reform whenever there is a chance.

Would the degrading treatment of migrants in the unknown facility hidden in the woods be revealed to the world if there was no NPM?
