Professional activities prohibition for mental health professionals who suggest and promote war

We refer to the General Assembly of the UN and WHO and demand to obligate educational and healthcare institutions of the members of the above mentioned organisations to prohibit issuing and revoke licenses, certificates and diplomas confirming high and specialised education of the mental health specialists, who, directly or indirectly call out to actions which may lead to human deaths (save for the cases legally allowed by the member states. E.g., right to euthanasia) both during peaceful and war time.

This kind of specialists are equipped with skills and technics, which influence peaceful people’s thinking and may lead to was actions. By practicing in a non-ethical manner, this kind of actions promote development and exacerbation of psychological disorders.

With respect to this raised issue we request to form a commission and include a separate related clause in all ethical codes and charters of organisations, which provide services in healthcare, medical and humanitarian education sectors.

We strongly believe that organisations must clearly set out severe legal consequences to be applied to all mental health specialists, who practice propaganda of deaths and actions leading to deaths (both verbally and in

writing, including in all kinds of media, including social media (except for limitations provided by the laws of member states) amongst peaceful population.

By submitting this petition we refer to the following:
