This essay presents an analysis of the judgment of the Plenary Session of the Constitutional Court 476/2020 of Peru that admits the involuntary hospitalization of a person with psychosocial disability. Based on analysis in light of the United Nations Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities, we have reviewed the consistency of the court’s argument with the Convention and we conclude that there are multiple violations of the rights recognized here. These violations mean not only the lack of recognition of a right, but given that we are in face of a group that has suffered from historical discrimination, this violation of rights reveal the paradigm that still persists in the peruvian legal system and its operators, regarding their recognition as equals in society. We consider this report important given that the fight for the recognition of the rights of people with disabilities in equality is a still ongoing fight that requires not only legal but also social advances.
