Abstract
< p >Natural and unnatural events and disasters always threaten human life, so the protection of human life against them is very important. As one of the most contagious diseases, Corona virus (Covid-19) has affected the lives of all people around the world and has damaged the fundamental rights of mental health, which is more vulnerable than other human rights cases. During the Covid-19 pandemic, most people experience a psychological crisis, but certain groups such as the mentally ill, single people, children, workers, the elderly, asylum seekers, the poor, and health workers are more affected than others. The main purpose of the research is to explain the relationship between mental health and human rights and to analyze the mechanisms of Article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and General Comments 14 of the Committee in support of Mental Health against Covid-19 with a descriptive-analytical approach. The results of the research show that Article 12 of the Covenant and the General Comments mentioned have the necessary capacities to protect the right to mental health and prescribe the obligations of the state in fulfilling the right to mental health of vulnerable people.
