The Social Model in the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Journal Title: The Age of Human Rights Journal - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Any analysis to be performed regarding disabilities requires a philosophical, sociological and regulatory framework. This paper takes as a starting point a philosophical framework which arises from those values and principles on which human rights are grounded. The sociological framework is built through the social model of disability, and the regulatory framework is provided by the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
