Introduced in 2008, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities has existed for nearly a decade. This comprehensive
study examines how courts in thirteen different jurisdictions make
use of the Convention. The first sustained comparative
international law analysis of the CRPD, Waddington and Lawsons
ground breaking text illuminates the intersection between human
rights law, disability law and international law through an
examination of the role of courts. The first part of the book
contains chapters specific to each jurisdiction. The second part
consists of comparative chapters which draw on the rich analysis of
the jurisdiction-specific chapters. These chapters reflect on
emerging patterns of judicial usage and interpretation of the CRPD
and on the wider implications for human rights theory and the
nascent field of international comparative human rights law. This
volume is a vital and thought-provoking addition to the literature
on comparative international law and disability rights.
