A/HRC/25/60/Add.2 another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that the person would be in danger of being subjected to torture. The Special Rapporteur also encourages the Government to continue its engagement with the mandate. Romania (a) UA 16/08/2013 Case No. ROU 1/2013 State Reply: None to date Alleged ill-treatment and denial of medical and psychological treatment of persons with disabilities. 124. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of Romania has not responded to this communication, thereby failing to cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council. The communication refers to the alleged ill-treatment and denial of medical and psychological treatment of persons with disabilities, including mental disabilities, at the “Gheorghe Serban” Centre for Recuperation and Rehabilitation of Neuropsychiatry in Bucharest, Romania. According to the allegations, disabled persons at this center are sedated and kept in dark rooms, are occasionally beaten, provided inadequate food, and are denied adequate medical and psychological care. The Special Rapporteur reminds the Government of Romania that paragraph 1 of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23 “Condemns all forms of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, including through intimidation… and calls upon all States to implement fully the absolute and non-derogable prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” Additionally each Government has the obligation to protect the right to physical and mental integrity of all persons, as set forth inter alia in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention against Torture. The Special Rapporteur also reiterates that article 25 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities provides that persons with disabilities have the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health without discrimination on the basis of disability. Additionally, the Special Rapporteur reiterates that there can be no therapeutic justification for the use of solitary confinement and prolonged restraint of persons with disabilities in psychiatric institutions. Without any evidence to the contrary, the Special Rapporteur concludes that the victims’ rights under international standards relating to the prohibition of torture and ill-treatment, as well as other standards of international human rights and humanitarian law, have been violated. The Special Rapporteur urges the Romanian Government to clarify the alleged facts, to conduct thorough and independent investigations, leading to the prosecution and punishment of all perpetrators, to provide compensation for the victims and ensure the nonrepetition of such acts.
