TANGGUNG JAWAB NEGARA TERHADAP PEMENUHAN HAK KESEHATAN JIWA DI MASA PANDEMI COVID-19 DALAM PERSPEKTIF HAK ASASI MANUSIA

Abstract

Fulfillment of mental health rights before the pandemic still had problems that had not
been resolved by the government, until the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic mental health
increasingly did not receive the government's attention, causing significant problems. Laws and
regulations that legitimize that mental health is health that must be considered like physical
health, have not been sufficiently implemented because the government has not made mental
health a top priority in handling a pandemic.
This type of research can be classified as normative research, because in this study the
author examines legal theories and principles and examines literature based on legal
systematics. Sources of data used, primary data, secondary data and tertiary data. Data
collection techniques in this research with literature studies found general concepts related to
research problems.
From the research results there are three main things that can be concluded. First, the
right to get fulfillment of mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic is a guarantee that cannot
be released and is the responsibility of the state. Second, the mental health law is considered to

still have limited regulations regarding the fulfillment of mental health rights during the Covid-
19 pandemic. Third, there needs to be a change in the rules because ideally a law and regulation

always experiences continuous development. Author's suggestion, First, the government needs to
carry out mental health management in a planned manner to thoroughly evaluate the
implementation of mental health rights during the Covid-19 pandemic. Second, the government
in its active character needs to be required to carry out governmental tasks in accordance with
the authority it has.
