Symposium PresentationEducation and EthicsReview / Opinion # The Geneva Prize for Human Rights in Psychiatry The geneva prize for human rights in psychiatry Presenter: Francois P. Ferrero Country: Switzerland Session: 3410 - SPECIAL SYMPOSIUM: HUMAN RIGHTS AND PSYCHIATRY: MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER Date: Fri, 25.09.2026, 09:15 - 09:35 Room: Hall A3 The talk traces the origins of the concept of human rights, examining the institutionalization of human rights in psychiatry and the role of the Geneva Prize, established in 1998, in this field. The speaker proposes revisiting the multiple origins of a revolutionary concept such as human rights and recalling certain developments by placing them in a historical perspective. In psychiatry, the World Psychiatric Association has adopted human rights declarations since 1977; the most recent of these is its 2020 Code of Ethics. During the same period, the United Nations has also adopted various instruments, including the 2006 Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN-CRPD), which represents a genuine paradigm shift in how people with disabilities are treated. The Geneva Prize for Human Rights in Psychiatry was established in Geneva in 1998. The prize aims to recognize an individual or organization with outstanding achievements in advancing equality and humanity in psychiatric care, reducing discrimination against patients, and promoting the implementation of human rights and ethics in psychiatry.
