Full textIn recent years, the rights of persons with disabilities have received substantial attention both in South Africa and internationally. While certain rights have received widespread coverage, other rights have not yet been examined to determine the importance thereof for persons with disabilities and to establish the best way in which these rights can be implemented. A right which has not yet been examined in detail is the right to social protection, as guaranteed by Article 28 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Social protection involves the provision of financial support as well as certain services in order to ensure that persons with disabilities are able to participate in society on an equal basis with others. One of the essential components of the right to social protection is the provision of adequate social security for persons with disabilities. Since detailed research on the scope and content of Article 28 has not yet been undertaken, this thesis will investigate what is required of states in relation to the provision of social security in terms of Article 28 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In addition, the current provision made for social security for persons with disabilities in South Africa will be examined and evaluated. The investigation into the current social security measures for persons with disabilities in South Africa will commence with the Constitution and proceed to a detailed examination of relevant legislation. Similar legislation and policies from other jurisdictions will also be considered in order to gauge whether any lessons may be learned from the approach taken in these jurisdictions where they differ from the South African approach.

Full textThe UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is the latest human rights treaty at the UN level. The process leading to the adoption called attention to the plight of persons with disabilities, and redefined approaches to issues of disability. Fundamentally, the CRPD embodies a paradigm shift in thinking about disability. It embraces the social model of disability, in terms of which disability is a function of the interaction between a person with impairment and his or her environment as opposed to an inherent limitation of functioning. The social model is, in turn, anchored in a human rights approach to disability. No doubt, the adoption of the CRPD triggered immense optimism for the realization of the rights of persons with disabilities. One of the rights recognised under the CRPD is the right to education. Article 24(1) of the CRPD recognises the right of persons with disabilities to education and sets out the aims of such education. Article 24(2) sets out a number of principles to guide the implementation of the right. These include: non-exclusion from the general education system including non-exclusion of children with disabilities from free and compulsory primary education
access to inclusive quality and free primary education on an equal basis with other children in the communities in which children with disabilities live
reasonable accommodation of a student&rsquo
s needs
provision of support necessary to facilitate effective education
and provision of individualised support measures in environments that maximise academic and social development of the students with disabilities. It is generally accepted that the right to education is one of the most essential rights, particularly in light of its empowerment function that helps to facilitate the exercise of other rights. The primary level of education has particularly attained global recognition and priority in resource allocation and implementation. Primary education contributes significantly to the maximum development of the full human potential of children. There are therefore differentiated obligations for the right to primary education in international human rights. Nevertheless, there are still significant barriers to access to primary education, particularly in the African region. While children with disabilities have been excluded from education for a long time the world over, their exclusion in the African context is particularly endemic. The core purpose of this thesis is to determine how article 24(2) of the CRPD affects or is likely to affect primary education of children with disabilities, particularly in the context of developing countries. The focus of the enquiry is mainly the law and policy in this regard. The subject spans three main spheres of rights: children&rsquo
s rights, socioeconomic rights (particularly the right to education), and finally disability rights. Children&rsquo
s rights, especially since the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), are generally accepted. The right to education also has a long standing history, and whereas debate regarding the appropriate approaches to its implementation still abides, there is apparent normative and jurisprudential consensus on some aspects thereof, particularly at the primary education level. It is essential to determine the relational framework of these spheres with the disability rights established under the CRPD. The thesis finds that the CRPD does in fact redefine the parameters of the right to education as previously understood in international human rights instruments. Particularly, the expanded aims of education under article 24 call for education systems that recognise non-academic learning, such as the development of the talents or creativity of the learner. This provision is particularly significant to the child with disabilities. Also, while not establishing an entirely new right, the principles under article 24(2) establish actionable sub-entitlements that enhance the justiciability right to education for children with disabilities. However, it is apparent from the comparative studies that it is the implementation of these provisions that presents the greatest challenge for the realisation of primary education for children with disabilities. This suggests that whereas norm creation as under the CRPD may have the value of triggering and sustaining discourse on appropriate responses in the context of the education of children with disabilities, it is the translation of these norms into practical action points that is the determining factor for realization of the right.

Full textThe theory of Constitutional Amendments Equivalence of Derived Constitutional Power seeking to embrace fully the phenomenon of legal approval of international treaties and conventions on human rights as equivalent to constitutional amendments, pursuant to §3º of art. 5º of the Constitution, inserted by Constitutional Amendment nº 45/04. After critically describing the constitutional, jurisprudential and doctrinaire panorama in that was engendered in this new device of art. 5º and the procedure by which the incorporation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol was approved as equivalent to the Amendments, follow three essential parts that make up the approach to the subject. The first is directed to describe the presence of a new manifestation of constituent power, with the goal of providing solutions coherent and consistently backed into a theoretical framework common to all the problems involved, which will be examined specifically from the issues faced in Part II. The third part is more tied to material issues, to worry about the object of constitutional equivalence: if this includes the entire international diploma; exclusively human rights therein, or also rules otherwise, abstracting and projecting findings from the concrete experience of the Convention. The most intense contribution to legal thought is evidently in the identification of a new type of constitutional derived power; but also in the conceptualization of equivalence to constitutional amendments norms; when pointing the exact object of §3º of art. 5º; revealing the complexity of the phenomena involved in the introduction of the Convention and its Optional Protocol; the delimitation of the spectrum of equivalent to constitutional amendments norms; and in obtaining greater theoretical conformity with the fundamentals of the constitutional and international legal systems, from entanglement between the theories of law and the State; and the disciplines of constitutional law; international law; and human rights

Full textThe importance of a nurturing environment on early child development and the central role that a family environment plays to this end are widely recognised. However, most children with disabilities lack family life and parental care and often find themselves disproportionately represented in the category of children that need alternative care arrangements. The limited access to family-based alternative care options for children with disabilities deprived of their family environment is the primary concern of this study. Studies have shown excessive dependence on institutions as a means to provide care for children with disabilities deprived of their family environment, despite the overwhelming evidence on the negative effects of placement in institutions on the development and well-being of children. This contradicts with a number of rights articulated in international and regional standards dealing with the alternative care of children in general, and children with disabilities in particular. This study seeks to examine the extent to which the rights of children with disabilities are respected in the context of alternative care in two jurisdictions in Africa – Ethiopia and South Africa. The two countries are State Parties to the applicable international and regional instruments concerning the alternative care of children with disabilities. These standards include the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. The UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children and its principles of ‘necessity’ and ‘suitability’ also offer some guidance.

Full textInternationally, the rights of persons with disabilities to participate as full members of society through inclusive education has become a high priority with the adoption of the first legally binding treaty, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006). In keeping with our culture of acknowledging the rights of all, South Africa has already made great strides towards fulfilling these rights and is in the implementation phase of Education White Paper 6: Building an Inclusive Education and Training System (Department of Education, 2001). In spite of this, the practicability of implementing inclusive education is questioned by many. The inclusion of learners who are blind in neighbourhood schools, as opposed to &lsquo
special schools&rsquo
, is a particularly daunting task. However, the more local cases we have from which to draw insights, the better our chances of making inclusive education both practicable and widely accessible across a range of local contexts. A public, mainstream neighbourhood school that included two learners who are blind was therefore investigated to learn more about how the learners who are blind were physically, socially and academically included in the local school community. Qualitative data collection methods including semi-structured interviews and observations were used to uncover useful strategies, challenges and enabling factors that contributed to their successful inclusion. The findings revealed that the participants in this study had very little knowledge or experience in building an inclusive educational setting at the outset, but engaged in the process with open minds, creativity and trust. By adopting a collaborative approach and an attitude of &lsquo
failing forward&rsquo
, the objective of social and academic inclusion was to a great extent achieved in the school.

Full textA presente dissertação pretendeu analisar as experiências de vida de pessoas com deficiência na cidade de Toronto, no Canadá, explorando as barreiras que estas enfrentam no seu quotidiano e conhecendo a actualidade dos instrumentos de direitos humanos existentes e a sua aplicação no terreno. A partir da análise qualitativa e em profundidade das Experiências Individuais de 43 pessoas com deficiência, foram identificadas as questões de direitos mais prioritárias e importantes para estas, sendo os resultados posteriormente analisados à luz da Convenção sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência. Os domínios da Participação Social e do Trabalho, tendo sido as áreas que mais se destacaram com o maior número de experiências negativas, revelaram a grande lacuna que existe no acesso aos direitos humanos no meio social e laboral. Apesar do conjunto de princípios regulados pela Convenção, experiências de indignidade, exclusão, inacessibilidade, desigualdade e desrespeito são comuns entre as narrativas pessoais dos cidadãos com deficiência. Não obstante os inúmeros instrumentos de direitos humanos disponíveis, as pessoas com deficiência continuam a experienciar situações de violação dos seus direitos. Impedidas de exercer plenamente os seus direitos, continuam a ser vítimas de uma sociedade que as exclui das suas relações sociais, políticas, económicas e culturais.
This dissertation aims to analyze the life experiences of people with disabilities in the city of Toronto, Canada, exploring the barriers they face in their daily lives and understand the timeliness of existing human rights instruments and their implementation on the ground. Drawing from the qualitative and in-depth analyses of the individual experiences of 43 persons with disabilities this study has identified the rights issues that are more important for them and examined these results in the light of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The domains of Social Participation and Labour are the most outstanding areas with the highest number of negative experiences, revealing the wide gap that exists in access to human rights in these domains. Despite the principles stated by the Convention, the experiences of indignity, exclusion, inaccessibility, inequality and disrespect are common in the personal narratives of people with disabilities. Although there are numerous human rights instruments available to people with disabilities they continue to experience situations of violations of their rights. Prevented from fully exercising their rights, they thus continue to be victims of a society that excludes them from their social, political, economic and cultural life.

Full textAfter the ratification in 2009 by Brazil of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, published in 2007, the legal systematic regard to the theory of disability and its consequences suffered intense modifications. The Brazilian Civil Code, published in 2002, despite the ability to relate to the constitutional system of protection of human dignity, not encompassed in its content the admission of full autonomy of persons with disabilities. Nevertheless, the Federative Republic of Brazil became a signatory to the International Treaty on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which promoted a paradigm shift on the focus of the concept of disability, which, of course, sparked a significant impact on the study of theories of disabilities and its corollaries. Brazilian law inclusion of people with disabilities (Law no. 13,146 - 2015), called the Disabled status, in obedience to the fundamental principles of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, raised transformation in the parental system of disability and, consequently, the procedural issues relating to the protection of the disabled person. The changes brought about by People with Disabilities Statute generated sequels in the Civil Law inherent institutions such as marriage and interdiction, and Civil Procedure, like the reflections in prescription and decay and the institution of the new decision-making tool supported.
Após a ratificação em 2009 por parte do Brasil da Convenção sobre os Direitos da Pessoa com Deficiência, editada em 2007, a sistemática jurídica atinente à teoria das incapacidades e seus desdobramentos sofreu modificações intensas. O Código Civil brasileiro, editado em 2002, em que pese a aptidão para se relacionar com a sistemática constitucional de proteção da dignidade da pessoa humana, não abarcou em seu conteúdo a admissão da integral autonomia das pessoas com deficiência. A despeito disso, a República Federativa do Brasil se tornou signatária do Tratado Internacional sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência, sendo promovida uma mudança paradigmática sobre o enfoque do conceito de deficiência, o que, naturalmente, deflagrou consequências significativas no estudo das teorias das incapacidades e seus corolários. A lei brasileira de inclusão da pessoa com deficiência (Lei nº. 13.146-2015), denominada de Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência, em obediência aos preceitos fundamentais da Convenção sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência, suscitou transformação no sistema pátrio de incapacidade e, por consequência, nas questões processuais relativas à proteção da pessoa com deficiência. As mudanças trazidas pelo Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência geraram sequelas em institutos inerentes ao Direito Civil, como o casamento e interdição, e Processual Civil, a exemplo dos reflexos na prescrição e decadência e na instituição do novo instrumento de tomada de decisão apoiada.

Full textA presente dissertação tem como escopo a análise acerca do tratamento dado ao controle de convencionalidade das leis no cenário jurídico brasileiro e argentino. O problema se pesquisa reside em analisar qual a hierarquia dos tratados internacionais de direitos humanos inseridos em ambos os ordenamentos jurídicos e, em virtude disso, analisar a existência, ou não, de compatibilidade vertical e material entre as leis que regulamentam a aposentadoria das pessoas com deficiência em cada um desses países em relação à Convenção Internacional sobre os Direitos da Pessoa com Deficiência. No que tange à metodologia empregada, optou-se pela utilização do método de abordagem dedutivo, partindo do estudo dos conceitos trazidos pela Convenção Internacional, pela legislação brasileira e pela legislação argentina com o fito de lograr a possibilidade de analisá-la em casos do cotidiano, a partir da aplicação das teorias do controle de convencionalidade. Ainda, em relação ao método de procedimento, em virtude da necessidade, justamente, de apontar quais as semelhanças e dessemelhanças existentes entre as legislações domésticas de cada país em relação à norma internacional. Nesse propósito, percebeu-se que reside uma discrepância no que tange à significação de pessoa com deficiência em cada uma dessas normas, uma vez que o tratado internacional apresenta um conceito extremamente amplo de pessoa com deficiência, a fim de chancelar o direito de uma grande parcela da sociedade que, em virtude de barreiras de ordem médica, social, educacional, profissional, psicológica ou cultural, se encontram à margem do convívio social e do mercado de trabalho. Em contraponto a isso, a legislação brasileira restringe a constatação da deficiência para casos de ordem médica e social, conquanto a legislação argentina restringe a mesma somente aos casos de deficiência médica. Tal discrepância conceitual existente entre as normas prejudica em demasia uma grande parcela da sociedade, uma vez que, agindo de tal forma, está-se, inegavelmente, excluindo da proteção legal uma grande parcela da sociedade que não consegue se incluir social e profissionalmente em virtude de questões que ultrapassam o mero olhar clínico ou social. Portanto, mostra-se de fundamental importância o estudo, no intuito de, deflagrando a incompatibilidade de leis existentes, possa-se agir no sentido de modificar o atual estado de coisas e, por consequência disso, incluir um maior número de indivíduos na chancela legislativa, em estrita observância aos auspícios dos direitos humanos das pessoas com deficiência.

Full textA presente dissertação tem como desígnio investigar o problema da eficácia da proteção sobre os direitos das pessoas com deficiência, à luz da Constituição de 1988. Deste modo, o estudo tem início com um breve histórico sobre as pessoas com deficiência, buscando acerca do conceito e terminologias que foram se construindo ao longo dos séculos. A pesquisa está centrada na questão da efetivação dos tratados e convenções de direitos humanos no Brasil, notadamente da Convenção sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência. Dessa maneira, analisar-se-á a respeito da recepção dos tratados e convenções internacionais que versam sobre os direitos humanos com base no ordenamento jurídico pátrio. Para tanto, utiliza-se como referencial o anterior e o posterior da vigência da Emenda Constitucional nº45 de 30 de dezembro de 2004. Nesse contexto, examina-se a problemática da concretização de tal Convenção, a partir, em especial, da introdução da nova redação do § 3°, do artigo 5°, da Constituição Federal do Brasil, robustecendo-se no prisma da hierarquia constitucional. Neste ensejo, será realizada uma exploração sobre os diversos posicionamentos doutrináriosatinentes à admissão e êxito desse diploma internacional no direito brasileiro.

Full textThe primary object of the dissertation was to identify contemporary constitutional and international standards in the field of involuntary commitment in a psychiatric establishments, understood as any form of placement of a person with a mental disorder in a psychiatric institution without his/her consent. The analyzed standards refer to both the substantive criteria for legality of detention as well as procedural guarantees and conditions of stay in psychiatric establishment. In particular, the thesis attempts to answer questions such as: whether and under what conditions is involuntary placement in a psychiatric institution admissible? Which body should take decisions with regard to placement? How should the procedure be constructed to meet the requirement of fairness? What living and therapeutic conditions should be provided to patients compulsorily placed in psychiatric establishments? The dissertation analyzes also positive obligations of the state to provide people with mental disorders with alternative, non-isolative forms of treatment and support. The thesis consists of six chapters. The first one is of an introductory character and its primary goal was to explain the medical and legal meaning of the terms "mental disorders" and "disability" and to present the issues analyzed in the dissertation from a historical perspective. In the second chapter, compulsory placement in a psychiatric establishment was analyzed as a form of deprivation of liberty. Thus, constitutional and international definitions of personal liberty and deprivation of liberty were presented. The third chapter focuses on the presentation of substantive criteria for involuntary placement in psychiatric establishment. The fourth chapter presents procedural standards. The fifth chapter deals with the conditions of involuntary stay in psychiatric establishment. The last chapter focuses on the question of positive obligations of the state to provide persons with mental disorders with access to non-isolative forms of support and care. The analysis presented in the dissertation led to the conclusion that the legal standards regarding the compulsory placement in a psychiatric establishments, in particular regarding its admissibility and possible substantive grounds, are still not fully harmonized. This is caused mainly by the different visions of the status of people with mental disorders in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on the one hand and in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Constitutional Tribunal on the other. The former, in accordance with the so-called “social model of disability”, concentrates on the respect for autonomy of all persons with disabilities, what is reflected in the activities of the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which condemns all forms of compulsory psychiatric treatment. However, in the light of the case law of the ECHR and the Constitutional Tribunal, while compulsory placement in a psychiatric institution constitutes deprivation of liberty and requires particularly important arguments for justification, it is sometimes admissible and even necessary for the state to fulfil its positive obligations in the area of protection of life and health. The second conclusion formulated in the dissertation is that respect for personal liberty of persons with mental disorders requires not only the introduction of appropriate procedural safeguards against arbitrary deprivation of liberty, but also provision of appropriate, non-isolative forms of support and care. This obligation is reflected primarily in “the right to be included in society” expressed in the CRPD, as well as the necessity to undertake so-called “deinstitutionalisation” process, underlined by many international bodies.

In a Democratic Rule of Law, respect for the dignity of the human person is its foundation and limit. However, people with reduced natural ability with traditional regimes saw their ability to exercise rights restricted through a stigmatizing process. For this reason, national and international movements arose in defense of their rights, which culminated in several legal diplomas, highlighting the New York Convention of 2006, among others.To meet these social requirements, multiple legal systems have established more flexible regimes. In Portugal, where the - much criticized by the doctrine - system of interdiction and disabling prevailed in the narrow measure in which it was shown to be too rigid, Law 49/2018 recently emerged that introduced the regime of the largest accompanied, which aims to protect without incapacitating.In this context, personal acts were highlighted by the legislator, who intended to make the beneficiary of the accompanying measures autonomous, without prejudice.In a Democratic Rule of Law, respect for the dignity of the human person is its foundation and limit.

Full textABSTRACT: Background: The new era of Recovery oriented mental health practice is based on human rights and culminating by the convention on the rights of persons with disabilities (CRPD, 2008) and WHO QualityRights ToolKit, 212. Objectives: This study was designed to address attitudes of staff and consumers toward human rights of persons with psychosocial and mental disabilities and their inclusion into community. Examining staff and consumers‘ attitudes will highlight deficits in the knowledge regarding the magnitude of this problem and will inform the intended raising of awareness and training in this area. Methods: A questionnaire was distributed to participants who were 104 staff members (psychologist, psychiatric nurses, social workers and doctors) and 100 consumers at the three main psychiatric hospitals in Sudan. Included in the questionnaire was the Human Rights of persons with psychosocial disability attitude questionnaire (HRQ_6) which was designed by the researcher based on (CRPD) as well as Community Living Attitudes Scale Mental Retardation - Short Form (CLAS), demographic items (for example, age, gender, and marital status) and one question about recovery in mental health. Scores on the HRQ_6 and the 4 CLAS subscales (Empowerment, Similarity, Exclusion, and Sheltering) were reported, and analyses of variance were performed to identify factors associated with each subscale score. The consumers‘ scores were compared with staff‘s scores. The HRQ_6 scores were correlated with the 4 CLAS subscales. Results: Two hundred and four participants from staff and consumers across the three main psychiatric hospitals in Sudan. The participants‘ of both groups had negative attitudes towards human rights of persons with psychosocial and mental disabilities. Also the participants‘ attitude scores favored Empowerment and Similarity over Exclusion and Sheltering. Staff and consumers; Men and women; and doctors and other professional groups; responded differently. Previous training on human rights had no impact on the attitude of the staff. There was correlation between the HRQ_6 and the 4 CLAS subscales. The research provided a much-needed window on the process of training and raising awareness with regard to human rights of persons with psychosocial and mental disabilities and their inclusion in to the community. Conclusion: Staff and consumers hold attitudes toward human rights of persons with psychosocial and mental disabilities that were inconsistent with the recovery oriented mental health practice. More researches are needed to uncover how attitudes towards human rights develop in our community, as well as how training on human rights can influence attitudes.

In the system of international human rights, it has been recognized that States owe all persons within their territories, obligations to respect, protect and fulfill their human rights no differently. Persons who States owe obligations to shall include the beneficiary of the study, persons with disabilities (PWD). However, it was not until 2006 had the system of international human rights come up with an exclusive convention for such persons. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) was adopted in the 2006 and entered into force in 2008, since then, researchers and advocates of disability studies worldwide have expected to ground their claims on this latest human right instrument. With such high expectations, for rights covered and obligations imposed by the Convention to be implemented for real, it is however evitable to comb in details the sources and context of right in the system of international human rights, to establish a theoretical basis for State obligation to protect PWD, so as to make ascertain the standard of action of States as obligation-bearers. In fact, the normative features of this first international human rights treaty in 21st century are significant itself as it demonstrates a new pattern of affirmation of rights through posing rather concrete obligations towards States, as well as the lex specialis status of the CRPD enriches the content of system of international human rights. Long before the existence of the Convention, disability studies worldwide processed and developed based on the model-centric study methodology as promotion of treatment and wellbeing of persons with disabilities. Commentators argue and make believed that the Convention as a rather late international human right instrument, through focusing on social participation and diminishment of social discrimination, it is an international human rights convention that endorses social model. However, the study considers otherwise. The study argues the focus must be stressed on the nature of human right and the theoretical basis for obligation-bearers to protect persons with disabilities while anyone attempts to adhere to the Convention as a breakthrough point. The application of the core principles of international human rights law, id the principle of “dignity” and “equal realization of rights,” to the sphere of PWD. In this regard, the study considers the outcome of the Convention has brought up a new super-model-centric approach to the disability study, the “right-based” approach to better solve the issues of rights and interests of PWD which have been undervalued for a long time. The CRPD, as reaffirming the above two core principles, establishes the spirit of the Convention as “promotion of autonomy” of PWD, and puts forward the concept of “reasonable accommodation” in general obligation. The Study aim to solve issues which should come up alongside as States fulfilling obligations required by the Convention by applying the rules of interpretation of international human rights law, and through this process, the study manages to establish a human right theoretical basis for PWD to be protected. In chapter II, the right-based approach should be ascertain while open-ended definition of the beneficiary serve as one of the evidence. In chapter III, the study should examine the source and content of the concept of “reasonable accommodation” provided by the Convention through applying standard and interpretational rules of international human rights law. In chapter IV, should fulfillment of substantial right of education and work require differential treatment, the study manages, through analyzing the application of standard of equal protection, to process the “reasonable accommodation” justification for promotion of autonomy of PWD. In final chapter before conclusion, in reference to Taiwan practices, the study experimentally examine the applicability of the theoretical basis observed and attained through above process with the issues discussed.

This dissertation starts with an analysis of the power of public service recruitment, and also try to compare the differences of the power of public service recruitment in Japan, American, and France. And then, I find that the power of public service recruitment in Taiwan is very different from those countries I just mentioned above. Namely, the power of public service recruitment in Taiwan was separated and shared by the Legislative Yuan and Examination Yuan, which result in the problems of using that power. I also try to analyze people’s rights to access to public service positions, inclusive of the relations between rights to take examination and rights to hold public service. And then, I also discuss about those factors that may be taken into consider when making a judicial review. I hold that if there’s a limitation on protections of rights to take examination, it must be a factor that threaten the examination system and procedure. If not so, there would be too many negative qualifications that don’t have reasonable standings to restrain people’s rights to take examinations. Second, I focus on the limitations on protections of rights to take examination that persons with disabilities faces in Taiwan. On one hand, I find that even in the examination only for people with disabilities to take, the protections are still very limited. Persons with disabilities get lower paid or lower level public service opportunities most of the time. On the other hand, in examinations not only for persons with disabilities, the examination system and procedure also has many regulations that restrict persons with disabilities from taking part in. Thus, I also try to review the constitutionality of those regulations.
