Netherlands (a) JAL 08/10/2013 Case No. NLD 2/2013 State Reply: 05/12/2013 Alleged forced psychiatric interventions, including seclusion for various periods of time and forced medication without informed consent. 114. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of the Netherlands for its response dated 13 May 2013 to the Joint Allegation Letter concerning alleged forced psychiatric interventions of Ms. Johanna Christina Santegoeds, including seclusion for various periods of time, forced medication without informed consent, and frequent forced body cavity searches during the period of October 1994 and May 1997. The Special Rapporteur had expressed concern that such forced intervention constituted a violation of Ms. Santegoeds’ right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health as embodied in article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ratified by the Netherlands on 11 December 1978). The Special Rapporteur acknowledges the response of the Government that allegations “in general terms” were investigated and found without merit. However, it is regretful that no information from the investigations regarding allegations of physical injury resulting from forced medication and cavity searches was provided by the Government. If such facts are substantiated, the Special Rapporteur reminds the Government of its obligation to provide full redress, including fair and adequate compensation, and as full rehabilitation as possible to all victims of torture or other ill-treatment. Additionally, the Special Rapporteur expressed concern over the alleged use of solitary confinement and other measures which isolated those with mental disabilities further from the community. The Special Rapporteur echoed concerns expressed in his 2013 report to the Human Rights Council that prolonged seclusion and restraint may constitute torture or ill-treatment (A/63/175, paras. 55-56), excepted in the limited circumstances of risk of immediate harm to self or others. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur is encouraged by the response of the Government, detailing efforts in the Compulsory Mental Health Care Act and through programs such as Assertive Community Treatment, which encourage community access as a component of treatment and aim to eliminate the use of solitary confinement. The Special Rapporteur encourages the Government to continue in its engagement with the mandate.

The Special Rapporteur acknowledges the reply transmitted by the Government of New Zealand on 2 December 2013; however, he notes that the Government has yet to provide substantive information pertaining to the issues raised. The referenced communication concerned information received alleging that, over the course of his continued medical treatment of 14 years, Mr. X was allegedly diagnosed with psychosis, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. He was put on various neuroleptic medications in an ad-hoc manner, which allegedly affected his health and quality of life. For the past 10 years, he allegedly endured compulsory treatment that was not backed by evidence and provided for under the 1992 Mental Health Act. Furthermore, despite requests by Mr. X and his family, mental health services allegedly refused to supervise a phased 84
