Summary/Abstract: The European Convention on Human Rights provides the basis of the Council of Europe for the protection of human rights for all, including the rights of persons with mental disabilities. Moreover, the European Court of Human Rights has enshrined these rights in its case law urging member states to make legislative changes to protect the human rights of these individuals. However, Bulgarian legislation has not yet been updated and synchronized with supranational norms about persons with mental disabilities. National Legal reform is needed to guarantee human rights for persons with mental disabilities.
