Disability Law and Policy: An Analysis of the UN Convention
undertakes a multidisciplinary examination of the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The
rights-based perspective on disability is a relatively new lens
through which disability law and policy is considered. This is
despite the fact that persons with disabilities are often described
as the world's largest minority. There are approximately 1 billion
persons with disabilities in the world (15% of the world's
population). This book is an edited volume of essays that
undertakes a multidisciplinary examination of the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Part 1
focuses on disability and intersectionality. Part 2 addresses the
on-going debate about the meaning of Article 12, the right to equal
recognition before the law. The chapters contained in Part 3
address the emerging discourse on the right to liberty as contained
in Article 14 of the CRPD and the barriers facing persons with
mental health problems. Part 4 of this collection examines the
right to live independently and to be included in the community.
The themes of the right to inclusive education and employment for
persons with disabilities are explored in Parts 5 and 6 of the
collection. Finally, Part 7 examines how the CRPD is being
implemented regionally and in a number of jurisdictions. [Subject:
