Between the 15 and 17 of June 1995, Liberty and other organisations concerned with human rights coordinated the Human Rights Convention. This gathering examined the meaning of human rights, why they matter, and how they could be strengthened. In the full programme there was a workshop on mental health. This workshop examined how mental health legislation and practices affect the human rights of psychiatric service users.
