The Deinstitutionalisation of Children with Disabilities in Times of Armed Conflict
This article investigates the deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities in times of armed conflict, taking the situation in Ukraine as a case study. It argues that a proper implementation of the right to independent living involves adopting a human rights-based approach that considers all the socio-economic rights of children with disabilities with due regard for the knowledge and expertise existing within families. It highlights the i…
Taking economic and social rights earnestly
This article studies the economic and social rights of people with disabilities in times of armed conflict. While hostilities prevent them from accessing the essential goods and services that they rely on to enjoy these rights, the topic has attracted little attention to date. Calling upon international human rights law, the article applies the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, with a view to complementing the provisions of i…
The Right to ‘Inclusive’ Education
The adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) has introduced a new right in international human rights law: the right to inclusive education. What the ‘inclusive’ component of this right stands for is however unclear, with the result that a narrow approach to inclusion has taken priority. In order to counter this narrow approach, this article makes the normative case for advancing a particular understanding of i…
Disability in International Human Rights Law
This book examines what international human rights law has gained from the new elements in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons (CRPD). It explores how the CRPD is intricately bound up with other international instruments by studying the relationship between the Convention rights and those protected by other human rights treaties as well as the overall objectives of the UN. Using a social model lens on disability, the book shows how the Con…
The Right to Inclusive Education in International Human Rights Law
Education is a fundamental human right that is recognised as essential for the attainment of all civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. It was not until 2006, on the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), that the right to inclusive education was codified. This volume fills a major gap in the literature on the right of disabled people to education. It examines the theoretical foundations …
Intersectionality and disability in international human rights law
This article addresses the question of intersectionality in the field of international human rights law. While in this field much attention has been given to gender and race, here it is extended to disability. Starting from the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the article explores a new as yet unexplored research avenue: how international human rights law can be used to protect different groups of disabled people by a…
The Indivisibility of Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities
This article argues that a new understanding of the indivisibility of human rights has emerged through the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The CRPD has blurred the distinction between civil and political rights, on the one hand, and economic and social rights, on the other. After showing how this distinction has been blurred in the Convention, the article critically analyses the impact this has had on the concept of …
Protecting the Invisible
This article researches intersectionality in the area of international human rights law. Moving attention away from the field of anti-discrimination law, it examines how an intersectional approach to international human rights law can offer stronger human rights protection to people who share a number of characteristics associated with distinct groups of marginalised people. In order to illustrate the application of this approach the article prov…
The right to inclusive education
Although the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) proclaims the right to inclusive education, and much attention is being given to the goal of inclusive education in debates on human rights, there are doubts as to whether this right has led to a new direction in policy-making. The under-researched question is: why is there so much opposition to the implementation of the right to inclusive education? This paper examines the…
Transition to Inclusive Education Systems According to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
This article deals with the transition to inclusive education systems and therefore concerns states that have built segregated education systems. Article 24 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) proclaims the right to inclusive education for disabled people. State parties that are equipped with special schools, however, face particular challenges in progressively realising the right in question. This article therefor…
A Commentary on the Paris Principles on National Human Rights Institutions
The Principles relating to the Status of National Institutions (The Paris Principles) were adopted by National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) and endorsed by both the UN General Assembly and Human Rights Commission. Since their adoption, they have become the standards applicable to these institutions with a mandate to promote and protect human rights. This book offers a complete study of the Paris Principles, which includes an appraisal of the…
The Right to Inclusive Education According to Article 24 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
This article deals with the right to inclusive education. Article 24 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) provides not only that children with disabilities should not be discriminated against but also that they should be able to participate in the general education system. Children with disabilities should therefore be educated in mainstream schools. The article begins by studying the right to education in intern…

The Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a Communications Procedure
The adoption of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a communications procedure (OP3-CRC) is the last piece of the puzzle in the United Nations (UN) treaty body system.

Monitoring corruption from a human rights perspective
This article aims to bring a human rights perspective to corruption monitoring. While research has been done to explore the link between human rights and corruption, whether and how a human rights perspective could help to improve corruption monitoring has not been examined yet. The article is divided into four parts. The second part examines the rationale of both human rights monitoring and corruption monitoring, and how the former can help to i…
