Christoph Bublitz’s proposal that there is a need for a new right to mental self-determination, which he defines broadly as ‘the right to self-determine what is in and on one’s mind … consist[ing] of claims against others to not-interfere with minds of right holders, by either factually altering minds or by imposing legal duties pertaining to them’, is interesting and thought-provoking. As he explains, no explicit right to mental self-determination currently exists. Even though other rights, such as the right to mental integrity, the right to private life and freedom of thought, conscience, religion and opinion protect aspects of such a right, Bublitz argues that there are some gaps in protection that need addressing through a new self-standing right to mental self-determination.
