This Commentary provides the first comprehensive legal
article-by-article analysis of the provisions of the Convention on
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The Convention is
the key international human rights instrument exclusively devoted
to persons with disabilities and the centerpiece of international
efforts to address inequalities and barriers they encounter to the
full enjoyment of human rights. The book discusses the Convention's
position within existing international human rights law and within
the framework of the United Nations measures to protect the rights
of people with disabilities. Starting with the background of all
the Convention's articles, including the travaux preparatoires,
this Commentary examines each provision's substance and
interpretation, and explores the significance of each right, its
legal scope and relationship with other international legal norms
and principles. A unique contribution also analyzes the Optional
Protocol to the Convention. In addition to enriching academic
studies of international human rights law, the book provides
insights into the practical operation of the Convention's
provisions by assessing the practice of the CRPD Committee, the
activities of relevant international and regional human rights
bodies in enforcing the rights of persons with disabilities and the
contracting parties' implementation practices. Relevant European
Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union
and, if appropriate, other regional jurisdictions' case law, as
well as the jurisprudence of domestic courts, are taken into
consideration. Contributions from leading scholars and
international experts make this book an indispensable resource for
lawyers, academics, students, journalists, international
organizations, NGOs and other stakeholders wanting to better
understand the rights of people with disabilities. Furthermore, it
makes a valuable contribution to appraising the impact of the
Convention in the legal orders of contracting parties and to
charting the way forward in the protection of the rights of persons
with disabilities.
