Parliamentary Assembly

1. The Parliamentary Assembly refers to its Resolution 2521 (2023) “Mental health and well-being ofchildren and young adults”. It is convinced that this topic should be given higher priority in the Council ofEurope member States and underlines the importance of empowering children and young adults in decision-making processes that relate to them, and in particular about their health and well-being.

2. The Assembly commends the work of the drafting group on developing a guide to child participation indecisions regarding their health (BIO/ENF-CP). In this regard, the Assembly recommends that the Committeeof Ministers instruct the drafting group to co-ordinate closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) andother United Nations agencies working on this issue to ensure a harmonised and rights-based approach tomental health, especially for children and young adults.

3. The Assembly moreover recommends that the Committee of Ministers remind the Steering Committeefor Human Rights in the field of Biomedicine and Health (CDBIO) of the firm position of the Assembly, theCommissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, relevant United Nations agencies and mechanisms(including the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD Committee) and WHO), and ofindependent experts and persons with lived experience against the use of coercion in mental health. Mentalhealthcare must be provided on a voluntary basis and must always respect the autonomy of the personreceiving care. Any decisions of the Committee of Ministers should reflect this human rights imperative, andbe taken in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, as interpretedby the CRPD Committee.
