Demanding the Right to Mental Health. Those Affected by the Internal Armed Conflict in Peru
This study offers an interdisciplinary approach to the multiple facets of the mental health problems faced by people affected by the internal armed conflict that Peru experienced between 1980 and 2000, who, for the purposes of this study, will be referred to as "those affected" (male and female). This research is divided into four parts. The first deals with the right to mental health in the international order, the second addresses this same right at the national level, and the third covers violations of the right to mental health and the right to reparation. In the fourth section, research findings are presented and discussed in two groups: the first refers to the ways in which those affected demand fulfillment of the right to mental health and reparation in Lima, and the second concerns Ayacucho; it also identifies the progress made by the State regarding the fulfillment of the right to mental health for those affected.
