The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is a welcome articulation of the rights of the disabled. However, as its definition of disability appears to include mental illness, the UK appears to violate it by linking mental illness with detention. Clarity and, possibly, change are needed.
《联合国残疾人权利公约》是对残疾人权利的可喜阐述。然而，由于其残疾定义似乎包括精神疾病，因此英国将精神疾病与拘留联系起来，似乎违反了该公约。需要明确并可能需要改变。
