A state's real commitment to its international human rights obligations is never
more challenged than when it faces emergency situations. Addressing actual and
potential resourcing pressures arising from the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted
in, amongst other things, modifications to Scottish mental health and capacity
law and the issuing of new guidance relating to associated practice. Whether
these emergency or ordinary measures are invoked during the crisis there are
potential implications for the rights of persons with mental illness, learning
disability and dementia notably those relating to individual autonomy and
dignity. This article will consider areas of particular concern but how strict
adherence to the legal, ethical and human rights framework in Scotland will help
to reduce the risk of adverse consequences.
