International Disability Law: A Practical Approach to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (1st edition.)

This title provides a concise guide to international disability law.

It analyses the case law of the CRPD Committee and other international human rights treaty bodies, and provides commentaries on more than 50 leading cases.

The author elaborates on the obligations of States Parties under the CRPD and other international treaties, while also spelling out the rights of persons with disabilities, and the different mechanisms that exist at both domestic and international levels for ensuring that those rights are respected, protected and promoted.

The author also delineates the traditional differentiation between civil and political rights on the one hand, and economic, social and cultural rights on the other.
