Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 01
Abstract
The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) and its Optional Protocol in 2006 towards the promotion and protection of the rights of persons with disabilities (PWDs) and to support the respect for their innate dignity. Nigeria and Indonesia have signed and ratified the UN CRPD as well as domesticated it in their respective domains. The purpose of this article was to evaluate how the global and relevant national instruments have been implemented in Nigeria and Indonesia to protect the rights of PWDs against discrimination and transform their fortunes. The article adopted library-based doctrinal and comparative research methods. This is in addition to employing some theoretical analytical models of disability to further explicate the perception or attitude of people towards PWDs in these countries. The findings of the article revealed that to certain extents, there have been some prospects and achievements recorded by reason of the extant normative frameworks guaranteeing the rights of PWDs in Nigeria and Indonesia; though the fundamental rights of PWDs have not been entirely fulfilled despite the optimistic clauses in the examined laws. The authors therefore, recommended that a lot more are still required to be done by relevant stakeholders in both countries under reference for the full realisation or accommodation of the protected rights of PWDs in Nigeria and Indonesia.
