I. Introduction

1. Since the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (hereinafter, the Committee) adopted a statement on article 14 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (hereinafter, the Convention), in September 2014, (CRPD/C/12/2, Annex IV), some United Nations bodies as well as inter-governmental processes have developed guidelines on the right to liberty and security as well as on the treatment of prisoners, which make reference to the deprivation of liberty of persons with disabilities. Some regional bodies have also considered adopting additional binding instruments which would allow for involuntary internment and forced treatment of persons with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities. The Committee, on the other hand, has further developed its understanding of article 14 while engaging in constructive dialogues with several States parties to the Convention.
