Abstract: | The article concerns involuntary treatment of infectious and mental diseases. Development of the legal regulation since the 19th century has been described here. Quality of the existing legal regulation has also been evaluated. Issues of involuntary psychiatric treatment have been analysed and demonstrated by the international case-law and state court practice. Significant differences between legislation in mental and infectious diseases has been detected, as well as differences have been traced between legal standards in the area of involuntary placement and involuntary treatment of mental disorders in Latvia and other countries. It has been concluded that involuntary psychiatric treatment, in line with epidemiological safety, is a task of public governance in the area of domestic security and safeguarding of human rights and it has to be reinforced by governmental authority. Thus, proposal of elaboration of the corresponding law has been made. |
