In this article, the author analyzes the impact of the Kantian concept of human dignity in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Likewise, the author elaborates a critique of the principle which argues that persons with disabilities’ individual autonomy and capacity to make decisions must be respected, regardless of the particular circumstances of the case, and finally proposes an interpretation of this principle based on the principle of equality.
En el presente artículo, el autor analiza la incidencia del concepto kantiano d e d ignidad h umana e n l a C onvención I nternacional sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad de la ONU. Asimismo, el autor realiza una crítica al principio que sostiene que deben respetarse siempre, sin importar las circunstancias particulares del caso, la autonomía individual y la capacidad de las personas con discapacidad de adoptar decisiones, y, finalmente, propone una interpretación de este principio con base al principio de igualdad.

The study is critically analysing the current legal framework in Malawi in so far as the right to equality and non-discrimination in the work place and the right to work for people with physical disabilities (PWPDs) is concerned. The paper will assess whether Malawi’s legal framework effectively protects the right to equality and non-discrimination in the work place for PWPDs in conformity with international standards. Finally, the paper will, in the event that Malawi’s legal framework does not conform to international standards, offer suggestions on how it can be reformed to comply with international standards, especially the Convention on the Rights of People With Disabilities

In 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.

This thesis is about understandings, how those understandings shape the law and how the law helps to shape those understandings. Its first premise is that law is not neutral: it is formed and functions within a complex and dynamic socio-political context from which it is inseparable. From that premise, the thesis argues that partial understanding of the context in which the law has been formed may result in mis- or partial understandings, and thus mis- or partial application, of the law itself. The argument is made through political discourse analysis of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and implementation in England of Article 19, the right to live independently and be included in the community. The CRPD is seen as emancipatory law, offering a re-description of the world and of disabled people’s place in it, and requiring for its full implementation transformative paradigm change. Whether the Convention-drafters’ hegemonic project succeeds will depend in part on the understandings already circulating in national settings. Turning to the United Kingdom, the thesis identifies resistance on the part of successive governments to international understandings of economic, social and cultural rights, and their consequent invisibility in domestic discourse, as potential barriers to realisation of the CRPD’s emancipatory purpose. The remainder of the thesis investigates the extent to which this mis-understanding currently affects implementation in England of CRPD Article 19. Independent living policy, legislation, decision-making and redress are examined for evidence of CRPD-compatible change. The thesis concludes that the exclusion of international economic, social and cultural rights standards from domestic discourse results in mis- and partial understandings, and thus in mis- or partial application, of Article 19. This in turn undermines implementation of the Convention as a whole, and frustrates its drafters’ purpose in the English domestic sphere.

The domestic ratification process that States undergo prior to ratifying UN human rights conventions is an under researched area. In 2006, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) was adopted. The CRPD is of historic significance as it is the first international human rights law instrument to explicitly set out the human rights of persons with disabilities. It is said to 'crystalise' and clarify a 'paradigm shift', in international human rights law; as historically persons with disabilities were seen as 'objects' to be managed, whereas the CRPD views persons with disabilities as 'subjects' with rights. The CRPD's drafting and negotiation process was a unique participatory process involving persons with disabilities and their organisations (DPOs). The participatory process influenced and shaped the content of the CRPD text. The CRPD may pose a challenge to States in its interpretation and practice. There is very little research focusing on the ratification process for the CRPD. This research explored the ratification process for the CRPD in the case of the Republic of Cyprus (Cyprus). A Foucauldian discursive analytic approach was used to identify the discourses and practice which shaped the process. The method included semistructured interviews with 23 governmental and non-governmental stakeholders and documentary analysis. The research found that the ratification process was a complex cultural process. The relationship between the Cypriot Government and DPOs was an important factor in shaping the ratification process. The 'CRPD human rights discourse' did not strongly shape the ratification process. There is a need for a conceptual engagement with the principles and values which underpin the CRPD. This thesis argues that although the ratification process in Cyprus had the capacity to support a transitioning to the CRPD's 'paradigm shift', a key factor in shaping this transitioning was its cultural context.

The 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.

This thesis responds to calls for greater clarity regarding the human rights standards that should be met by mental health legislation, and a mechanism by which to measure such standards. The research provides a new and contemporary human rights analysis tool, the Analysis Instrument for Mental Health, and uses the tool to demonstrate compliance of Victorian mental health legislation. The outcomes that can be achieved through use of the tool include identification of compliance with human rights, and law reform required to achieve full recognition of the right to equal recognition before the law under mental health legislation.

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (the CRPD) guarantees disabled people a right to education without discrimination and on the basis of equal opportunities. Uganda is a State Party to the CRPD. This research, examines the extent to which Uganda is realising a right to education for disabled people in higher education as per the UN human rights law obligations. To that effect, the research through an empirical study, analyses how the current Ugandan disability law implements the UN human rights law obligations in higher education, its effects on policy for disabled people and the effects of those policies on the lives of disabled people in higher education. This study reveals that, while Uganda has proliferation of disability legal provisions, their ideals have not yet being adequately translated to the reality of disabled people in the institutions of higher education. This is attributed to: the social-economic factors impinging on the realisation of education as a right, including factors hindering the realisation of disability rights in the country; limited enforcement of the disability legislation generally in the country, and in particular in higher education; and limited awareness about disability discrimination and in turn limited disability mainstreaming in higher education. As a result, institutions of higher education are generally challenged in providing equal opportunities for disabled people. Thus, there is limited inclusion of disabled people in higher education in Uganda. In light of that finding, this research recommends higher education sector to undertake strategic interventions that seek to effectively implement the disability legal framework and as well as enhancing non-legal mechanisms to bringing about equal opportunities for disabled people in higher education. These interventions include increasing disability awareness and disability mainstreaming in the institutions of higher education, government organs with statutory mandate over higher education and development partners directly supporting higher education. The study also recommends that another way to build the internal capacity of higher education institutions on disability inclusion is through undertaking emancipatory disability research with them as that has an empowering effect on the participants.

This thesis explores social workers’ practice and understanding of support for the exercise of legal capacity in adult safeguarding. The impetus for this study was the ‘revolution’ of article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which questioned fundamental and long-held legal positions on the rights of people with mental impairments to make decisions about their lives. This shift is a fundamental one, but there is very little existing empirical evidence of how such a revolutionary change in legal frameworks might actually work in practice, and what the challenges may be. Thus, this thesis aimed to empirically examine existing practice, to explore what the baseline of understanding was, and the difficulties that social workers encountered in using support mechanisms. An ethnographic approach was taken, with participant observation of an adult safeguarding team over a 17 week period, followed by interviews with 7 of the social workers who had been closely observed. The importance of this study is that the focus of the debate on article 12 has been on restoring legal capacity to individuals who had previously been denied it on the basis of their lack of mental capacity. While this is important, and is discussed in this thesis, the empirical work that forms the basis of this study demonstrates that denial of legal capacity affects a much wider group. In this context, ‘support’ may be less about supporting decisions in the particular instance, but rather supporting the individual to effect the decision that they have made, or to continue to be able to make decisions in the future. Using a theoretical framework of relational autonomy and universal vulnerability, the analysis shows that social workers the individual framing of mental capacity in the law means that they struggle accommodate the possibility of support for that mental capacity from a third party. Adults who have mental capacity but are considered ‘vulnerable’ are also significantly disempowered in the safeguarding framework. The social workers see the concept of mental capacity as overly limiting, and that vulnerable adults who are not captured by the Mental Capacity Act 2005 may still lack what this thesis terms ‘relational capacity’. A link made between vulnerability and a lack of relational capacity results in individuals being disempowered, kept as ‘objects to be organised’, rather than agentive subjects. The conclusion of this thesis is that the potential for undue influence in the exercise of support under article 12 is very possible. The data shows that we must consider carefully how we respond to this, building a universally enabling environment, rather than one which reduces agency and legal capacity.

People with learning disabilities are subject to a wide range of potential interferences with their choices and freedoms when they are 'placed' in institutional care services. The cumulative and pervasive impact of these regimes can be monumentally detrimental to self and wellbeing. Some have suggested that a new law, the Mental Capacity Act 2005, may limit the interferences that people with disabilities are subject to in care services. In this thesis, I subject the Mental Capacity Act to a critique drawn from new republican political theory. I argue that far from limiting the interferences that people with disabilities are subject to, the Act creates a mechanism which permits a proliferation of arbitrary interferences in people's everyday lives, with little recourse for people to 'invigilate' such interferences. I base this argument on a critical analysis of case law connected to the Mental Capacity Act, and by critically examining four key mechanisms of enforcement: Independent Mental Capacity Advocates, the Court of Protection, complaints procedures and regulation by the Care Quality Commission. I argue that, paradoxically, a framework for detention introduced by the Act - the deprivation of liberty safeguards - in fact contains more ingredients for ameliorating states of domination in these services than the Mental Capacity Act itself. However, the safeguards also suffer from serious defects. I conclude by discussing what lessons may be drawn from the problems with the Mental Capacity Act and the safeguards for wider reform efforts connected with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

This thesis examines compliance of decisions by Australian tribunals and courts administering guardianship legislation with the requirement of Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that all adults have the right to universal legal capacity. Over 300 publically available guardianship tribunal and court decisions involving residential accommodation were examined from NSW, Queensland and Victoria. The cases reviewed were from the period between Australia’s ratification of the Convention in 2008 and July 2015. There was variable compliance with the Convention across the States. The principles in the guardianship legislation were more important than the Convention, and ‘best interests’ principles took priority over autonomy-based principles consistent with the Convention.

A teoria do Poder Constituinte Derivado de Equivalência às Emendas Constitucionais busca abarcar por completo o fenômeno jurídico da aprovação de tratados e convenções internacionais sobre direitos humanos como equivalentes às emendas constitucionais, nos termos do §3º do art. 5º da Constituição, inserido pela Emenda Constitucional nº 45/04. Após a descrição crítica do panorama constitucional, doutrinário e jurisprudencial em que foi engendrado este novo dispositivo do art. 5º e o procedimento pelo qual foi aprovada a incorporação da Convenção sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência e de seu Protocolo Facultativo como equivalentes às Emendas, seguem as três partes essenciais e imprescindíveis que compõem a abordagem do tema. A primeira está voltada à caracterização da presença de uma nova manifestação de Poder Constituinte, com o objetivo de oferecer soluções coerentes e consistentemente respaldadas em um arcabouço teórico comum para toda a problemática envolvida, que será especificamente examinada a partir das questões enfrentadas na Parte II. Já a terceira parte está mais atrelada às questões materiais, ao se preocupar com o objeto da equivalência constitucional: se esta inclui todo o diploma internacional; exclusivamente os direitos humanos nele previstos; ou também normas de outra natureza, abstraindo e projetando conclusões a partir da experiência concreta da Convenção. A mais intensa contribuição para o pensamento jurídico encontra-se evidentemente na identificação de uma nova modalidade do Poder Constituinte Derivado; mas também, na conceituação das normas equivalentes às emendas constitucionais; ao se apontar o exato objeto do §3º do art. 5º, desvelando-se a complexidade dos fenômenos envolvidos na introdução da Convenção e de seu Protocolo Facultativo; na delimitação do espectro normativo das normas equivalentes às emendas constitucionais; e na obtenção de uma maior conformidade teórica com os fundamentos dos sistemas jurídicos constitucional e internacional, a partir do entrelaçamento entre as teorias do direito e do Estado; e as disciplinas do direito constitucional; internacional; e dos direitos humanos.
The 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

This thesis is centred on Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (the CRPD) - equal recognition before the law - and its implementation at the national level in China. Based on an in-depth understanding of Article 12 and the empirical research conducted in China regarding the relevant Chinese legal culture, this thesis closely examines the challenges concerning the implementation of Article 12 in China and the symbiotic relationship between the implementation of Article 12 in China and the relevant cultural context. It begins by developing a framework to theorize the implementation of Article 12, a piece of international human rights law, at the national level. Based on this theoretical framework, the full implementation of Article 12 at the national level necessitates an in-depth understanding of Article 12 and the relevant cultural context. The meaning, implications, and values of Article 12 should be fully rendered at the national level in a culturally sensitive way to ensure that they can be fully understood and effectively utilized by local people. By conducting analysis of both Article 12 and relevant Chinese law, this thesis identifies some of the fundamental gaps between the current Chinese law on legal capacity and adult guardianship and Article 12. By conducting and analyzing the empirical research of relevant legal culture in China, this thesis examines the legal culture-related challenges that should be taken into account in the implementation of Article 12 in China. Drawing on the analysis of Article 12 and relevant Chinese law and legal culture, this thesis reflects on reforming the domestic law to transpose Article 12 at the national level in a culturally sensitive way and the potential social changes that could be fostered by the implementation of Article 12.

The 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.

Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to generate further knowledge about prosthetic and orthotic services in developing countries. In particular, the thesis focused on patient mobility and satisfaction with prosthetic and orthotic devices, satisfaction with service delivery, and the views of staff regarding clinical practice and education. Methods: Questionnaires, including QUEST 2.0, were used to collect self-reported data from 83 patients in Malawi and 139 patients in Sierra Leone. In addition, 15 prosthetic/orthotic technicians in Sierra Leone and 15 prosthetists/orthotists in Pakistan were interviewed. Results: The majority of patients used their prosthetic or orthotic devices (90% in Malawi, and 86% in Sierra Leone), but half of the assistive devices in use needed repair. Approximately one third of patients reported pain when using their assistive device (40% in Malawi and 34% in Sierra Leone). Patients had difficulties, or could not walk at all, with their prosthetic and/or orthotic device in the following situations; uneven ground (41% in Malawi and 65% in Sierra Leone), up and down hills (78% in Malawi and 75% in Sierra Leone), on stairs (60% in Malawi and 66% in Sierra Leone). Patients were quite satisfied or very satisfied with their assistive device (mean 3.9 in Malawi and 3.7 in Sierra Leone out of 5) and the services provided (mean 4.4 in Malawi and 3.7 in Sierra Leone out of 5), (p<0.001), but reported many problems (418 comments made in Malawi and 886 in Sierra Leone). About half of the patients did not, or sometimes did not, have the ability to access services (71% in Malawi and 40% in Sierra Leone). In relation to mobility and service delivery, orthotic patients and patients using above-knee assistive devices in Malawi and Sierra Leone had the poorest results. In Sierra Leone, women had poorer results than men. The general condition of devices and the ability to walk on uneven ground and on stairs were associated with both satisfaction of assistive devices and service received. Professionals’ views of service delivery and related education resulted in four themes common to Sierra Leone and Pakistan: 1) Low awareness and prioritising of prosthetic and orthotic services; 2) Difficulty managing specific pathological conditions and problems with materials; 3) The need for further education and desire for professional development; 4) Desire for improvements in prosthetic and orthotic education. A further two themes were unique to Sierra Leone; 1) People with disabilities have low social status; 2) Limited access to prosthetic and orthotic services. Conclusion: High levels of satisfaction and mobility while using assistive devices were reported in Malawi and Sierra Leone, although patients experienced pain and difficulties when walking on challenging surfaces. Limitations to the effectiveness of assistive devices, poor comfort, and limited access to follow-up services and repairs were issues that needed to be addressed. Educating prosthetic and orthotic staff to a higher level was considered necessary in Sierra Leone. In Pakistan, prosthetic and orthotic education could be improved by modifying programme content, improving teachers’ knowledge, improving access to information, and addressing issues of gender equality.

Internationally, 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.

When should it be permissible to act against someone's expressed wishes in their best interests? In both political philosophy and legal practice, answers to this question often appeal to the concept of autonomy. Broadly, the idea is that if a person is sufficiently self-governing, then their wishes must prevail; but if they are not, then their wishes need not be respected when promoting whatever is good for them. This thesis analyses both philosophical models of autonomy and the practice of judges in England and Wales when implementing the Mental Capacity Act 2005. With regard to the philosophical models, it finds that, despite claims to the contrary, they do not offer a plausible way of assessing whether someone else is autonomous without appealing to values that are not the person's own. With regard to legal practice, it finds that, although judges speak about 'autonomy' in contradictory ways, a coherent account of when they will find that they must respect a person's expressed wishes can be constructed. This first stage of analysis makes a gulf between 'autonomy' in philosophy and law obvious. When philosophers talk about 'autonomy', they are largely concerned with the person's relationship to themselves. When judges talk about 'autonomy', they are largely concerned with the person's relationship to the world. 'Autonomy' in the philosophical sense cannot justify current practice because it does not deal with the same subject matter. Analysis of mental capacity cases does, however, allow the development of an alternative justification for actions against a person's expressed wishes. This justification lies in an evaluation of the entire situation, not of the person. It is not reducible to any model of autonomy, not even 'relational' models. Taken seriously, this justification requires a reorientation of the ethics of mental capacity law: away from overreliance on relatively few abstract 'principles' and towards articulating the difficulty and complexity of real situations. The thesis offers two papers towards the development of this latter mode.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Política Social
A 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.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate whether the Swedish municipalities apply the UN Convention on the rights of Persons with Disabilities and article number 24 regarding right to education when purchasing Swedish education for immigrants. One aim is to identify whether legislation, policies and rights of people with disabilities occur in different procurement documents. The study furthermore investigates if the right to education connects to the concept of social sustainability and Agenda 2030 for sustainable development and if that shows in the reviewed documents. This qualitative study maps and compares contents of different documents, descriptions of legislation, policies and concepts concerning rights of persons with disabilities. General comment No. 4 regarding right to inclusive education supports the work and analysis. The result finds that some rights of persons with disabilities occur in the different documents but to a different extent between the municipalities. Human Rights are not widely described and the Convention not mentioned, which could hinder to fulfill the obligation. The concept of social sustainability exists in the documents but does not always constitute the same purpose as described by the Swedish authority for public purchasing.

The purpose of this work is to examine the nature or form of disability rights, and whether the African regional human rights system adequately protects them. In other words, the study tries to understand whether the current appalling status of people living with disabilities can be blamed on normative paucity of the African human rights system. The author will therefore comb the African human rights instruments to determine this, and based on the findings, will assess the propriety or otherwise of adopting a disability specific instrument for the continent and recommend accordingly.

After 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.

This work has the objective analysis about the treatment of the conventionality control laws in the Brazilian and Argentine legal scenario. As we search problem is to analyze what the hierarchy of international human rights treaties entered into both legal systems and, in result, analyze the existence or not of vertical compatibility and material between the laws governing the retirement of people with disabilities in each of these countries on the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Regarding methodology, we chose to use the deductive method of approach, based on the study of the concepts brought by the International Convention, the Brazilian legislation and the Argentine legislation with the aim of achieving the ability to analyze it in everyday cases from the application of conventionality control theories. Still, regarding the method of procedure, because of the need precisely to point out that the similarities and dissimilarities between the domestic laws of each country in relation to international rule. In this way, it was noticed that lies a discrepancy regarding the person of significance with disabilities in each of these standards, since the international treaty brings an extremely broad definition of disabled person in order to seal the right to a large section of society that because of medical, social, educational, vocational, psychological or cultural barriers are outside the social life and the labor market. In contrast to this, Brazilian law restricts the finding of disability to cases of medical and social order, although the Argentine law restricts only to medical disability cases. Such existing conceptual discrepancy between the rules affect too much a large part of society, since, acting in such a way, one is undeniably excluding the legal protection a large portion of society that fails to include socially and professionally because of issues beyond the mere medical or social look. Therefore, it shows extremely important study with the aim of triggering the incompatibility of existing laws can be act to modify the current state of affairs and, by consequence, to include a greater number of individuals in the legislative seal in strict observance of the auspices of the human rights of persons with disabilities
A 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.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the link between human rights and, HIV and AIDS. It also assesses whether persons who experience inequality, prejudice, marginalisation and limitations in their social, economic and cultural rights are at a greater risk of HIV exposure. The study aims to assess whether persons living with cognitive disabilities have been a marginalised in the international and regional responses to HIV and AIDS, because cognitive disabilities impact on the basic social skills of an individual such as reading, writing, interacting with people and affect the ability of an individual to learn new things and infer information from social cues and body language. The author will therefore review specific international human rights instruments, African human rights instruments and some national policies and legislation in order to examine this, and based on the findings will provide recommendations accordingly.

The Zimbabwean society views persons with disabilities (PWDs) ‘as useless liabilities that have no role to play in society.’ The Zimbabwean Government has also forgotten PWDs since they are not mentioned in all the country’s national budgets. This has led to uncountable barriers faced by PWDs in their bid to be included as equal members of the society. Some of the barriers are constant discrimination, sheer poverty, lack of access to mainstream public services and stigma. Hundreds to thousands of PWDs beg for alms in the streets of every town and city. Zimbabwe then has to be reminded that all PWDs have: a right to enjoy a decent life, as normal and full as possible, a right which lies at the heart of the right to human dignity. This right should be jealously guarded and forcefully protected by all states party to the African Charter in accordance with the well established principle that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Thus, the era of silence when it comes to the realisation of the rights of PWDs in Zimbabwe has to come to an end. All PWDs in Zimbabwe should know that it is by right and not by privilege to be guaranteed full and effective participation, and inclusion in society. It is time for Zimbabwe to embrace all the rights for PWDs without any hesitation. It is time for humanity to celebrate the inherent dignity, individual autonomy, independence and the right not to be discriminated against for all PWDs. Every lawmaker in Zimbabwe has to be reminded to delete from the statute books all laws which view disability as a medical problem and instead, pass laws which are in line with the human rights-based approach which is a more enlightened, realistic and people-centred approach to disability. No time to play but plenty of time to work…!

This thesis addresses the question: How do customary legal frameworks impact the status, rights and treatment of persons with disabilities? It is motivated by two underlying premises. First, customary legal frameworks are highly consequential in Sub-Saharan contexts. Second, human impairments are likely to impact status, rights and treatment in customary legal scenarios. In addition, the reality of deep legal pluralism and an anthropologically versed conception of customary law inform the research design. Customary legal content is rightly discerned by researching its substance and application within the lived environment. The researcher gathered input and stories of 63 persons with disabilities and conducted interviews of 23 community members with heightened knowledge of cultural matters in order to discern the experiences of persons with disabilities in non-formal legal contexts. In her semi-autonomous social field approach, Sally Falk Moore considers diverse and layered sources of law when determining the normative legal content in lived contexts. However, this research uncovered little in the way of normative principles specially pertaining to persons with disabilities within lived environments. Instead, legally consequential occurrences take place in customary scenarios that are largely autonomous from formal actors and institutions. The perceived normative substance of formal and customary law can influence the outcome of customary scenarios, but the decision makers' working knowledge of this legal content as it pertains to people with human impairments is limited and disparate. Decision-making family, clan and community members take various factors into consideration when determining rights, status and treatment in customary scenarios. Suppositions about the capacity and functionality of persons with disabilities are particularly influential. Thus, human impairments can be consequential factors in these decisions. This thesis demonstrates that customary scenarios are highly significant forums for establishing customary rights and status in the contexts of marital relations, clan leadership, customary guardianship, customary succession and land rights. Moreover, it indicates that effectual social and legal influences in these scenarios are multi-sourced, multi-layered and dynamic. Finally, the thesis offers practical change strategies suggested by the research for those seeking to improve the status, rights and treatment of persons with disabilities in Mukono District and similar settings.

"This paper addresses the right to dignity of a group of people with two vulnerabilities i.e. being a disabled person and a prisoner. The concept of dignity applies to prisoners and detainees irrespective of their offences at any given time. This is a right that is ascribed to a person by virtue of one's humanity and not one's circumstances. In Ghana and Nigeria, the rights of able and disabled prisoners are not given serious consideration. This is probably due to the fact that these two countries are still involved in violations of human rights and they are yet to implement most of the provisions in international human rights instruments. The protection of the rights of disabled prisoners is a mirage in the two countries probably because they constitute a minority and their vulnerability relegates them to the lower rungs of the society. However, international human rights instruments recognise that disabled persons have rights that should be respected. ... Despite these international standards, the treatment of disabled prisoners is still below the recommendation. This necessitates a study of the role which human rights law ought to play in the mitigation of the hardship of disabled prisoners, as their dignity is a central element to their existence." -- Introduction.

This thesis considers two jurisdictions, namely Malawi and South Africa, and attributes the problem to the lack of appropriate national implementation of the applicable human rights law by these states. Consequently, the study is based on the underlying assumption that one of the main ways of addressing this problem is for African states to undertake measures that comply with international standards for ensuring the appropriate national implementation of the applicable international human rights law.

The present dissertation has as purpose to investigate the problem of the effectiveness of the protection on the rights of persons with disabilities, in light of the Constitution of 1988. Thus, the study begins with a brief history about people with disabilities, seeking about the concept and terminology that were building over the centuries. The research is centered on the question of the implementation of the treaties and conventions on human rights in Brazil, notably the Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities. This way, it will analyze the respect of receipt of international treaties and conventions dealing with human rights on the basis of the legal parental rights. For both, is used as a reference the earlier and the later the validity of Constitutional Amendment no. 45, December 30, 2004. In this context, we will examine the issue of the implementation of this Convention, from, in particular, the introduction of the new wording of paragraph 3, Article 5 of the Federal Constitution of Brazil, thereby strengthening the prism of constitutional hierarchy. On this occasion, there will be a holding on the various doctrinal positions relating to admission and success of international baccalaureate in Brazilian law. Finally, ventilate will be the fulfillment of the applicability conferred by Brazilian justice regarding the filing of actions that require the protection of the rights of people with disabilities; in this context, the object is examined on the prospect of contemplation of effectiveness with views into the materialization of the progress of the constitutionalism Brazilian directed to the achievement of an aspirated Humanistic nation and Constitutional Law.
A 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. Por fim, ventilar-se-á o cumprimento da aplicabilidade conferida pela justiça brasileira concernente ao ajuizamento das ações que demandam a proteção dos direitos das pessoas com deficiência; nessa conjuntura, o objeto é averiguado sobre a perspectiva da contemplação da eficácia com vistas na materialização do progresso do constitucionalismo brasileiro direcionado à realização de uma aspirada nação Humanística e Constitucionalista de Direito.

This study aims at analyzing the new world-view on persons with disabilities and the right to accessibility, established in the legal mark represented by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol, passed on December 13, 2006, by means of the Resolution 61/106, during the 61st session in the United Nations General Assembly (UN) as part of a set of international human rights treaties adopted since 1948. To that effect, it will develop its legal rationale aiming at answering the following questions: 1. History: What are the historical context and the main views on disability that have prevailed in the course of humankind s history in the construction of the human rights of persons with disabilities from a legal standpoint, in the international sphere? 2. Procedures: How has the procedure of preparation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol developed in UN? And the one for the ratification with constitutional equivalence in Brazil of the first treaty of human rights in the 21st century after Constitutional Amendment nº 45/04? What are the mechanisms of domestic and international monitoring of the implementation of the legal tools in caption? 3. Rights: Who are the persons with disabilities benefiting from the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol? What are the main rights and principles contained in the UN documents? 4. Accessibility: What is accessibility and what is its legal nature? How can one ensure the enforcement of accessibility amidst the other human rights?
Esta dissertação analisa a nova visão mundial sobre as pessoas com deficiência e a acessibilidade, positivada no marco legal da Convenção sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência e seu Protocolo Facultativo, adotados em 13 de dezembro de 2006, por meio da Resolução 61/106, durante a 61a sessão da Assembleia Geral da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) - parte do conjunto de tratados internacionais de direitos humanos existentes desde 1948. Desenvolve raciocínio jurídico objetivando responder às seguintes questões: 1. História: Qual o contexto histórico e as principais visões de deficiência que predominaram ao longo da história da humanidade na construção dos direitos humanos das pessoas com deficiência, do ponto de vista legal, no âmbito internacional? 2. Processos: Como se deu o processo de elaboração, na ONU, da Convenção sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência e seu Protocolo Facultativo? E o de ratificação com equivalência constitucional, no Brasil, do primeiro tratado de direitos humanos do século XXI, após a Emenda Constitucional n.° 45/04? Quais são os mecanismos de monitoramento nacional e internacional dos instrumentos jurídicos em questão? 3. Direitos: Quem são as pessoas com deficiência beneficiárias da Convenção sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência e seu Protocolo Facultativo? Quais os principais direitos e princípios contidos nos documentos da ONU? 4. Acessibilidade: O que é acessibilidade e qual a sua natureza jurídica? Como garantir a aplicação da acessibilidade em meio aos demais direitos humanos?

For too long the voices of persons with mental illness have been marginalised. These persons have been sidelined and unable to meaningfully participate in mental health treatment decision-making. This thesis answers the pivotal question of how we can increase the participation of involuntarily treated persons in the mental health treatment decision-making process. To achieve this goal, a participatory model of decision-making support is developed. If adopted, the model will empower persons with mental illness to make their own decisions with legal effect through the provision of supported decision-making and recognition of their will and preferences. Law reform is needed to realise the changes proposed. The participatory model developed promotes respect for the rights of persons with mental illness. These rights arise from bioethical principles of autonomy, justice, non-maleficence and beneficence, and article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (‘CRPD’). These principles give rise to the four key themes which provide a framework of analysis throughout this thesis: autonomy, supported decision-making, will and preferences and the protection of the rights of persons with mental illness. The participatory model is built on this framework of analysis to evaluate a continuum of approaches to mental health law, ranging from traditional mental health legislation through to emerging progressive approaches. The participatory model draws on international best practice to create a model that promotes decision-making support and the recognition of the will and preferences of individuals, while focusing on the promotion of their rights and their ability to make autonomous decisions where practicable. The model developed is consistent with the spirit of the CRPD. It represents a path forward whereby persons with mental illness and their supporters can more greatly participate in the mental health treatment decision-making process. This means that some persons who might otherwise be treated involuntarily will be supported to the degree that they are able, to participate in decisions surrounding their treatment in collaboration with their treating psychiatrist and supporters. This will allow persons with mental illness to build their mental capacity to the point where they may be treated voluntarily. It is hoped that this model will lead to mental health law reform to realise its recommendations. This would enable persons with mental illness to have their rights respected and to be able to participate to a greater extent in the mental health treatment decision-making process when being treated involuntarily.

Whether human rights treaties produce an impact on the ground is a highly contested question in international law. I engage in this debate in the present thesis offering a qualitative study of the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Australia and Mongolia. The scholarship commonly understands human rights treaties in legalistic terms. Treaty outcomes are measured on the basis of the direct effects of their norms. State ratification and incorporation of treaty norms in domestic legal orders are perceived as the principal ways whereby human rights treaties penetrate into and transform domestic contexts. A common prescription for better treaty implementation is to increase their coercive enforcement. I call this view human rights instrumentalism and, in this thesis, argue that it offers a limited understanding of the role that the treaties play in national arenas. The thesis illustrates that, in the years following the adoption of the Disabilities Convention in 2006, vibrant legal and policy developments have taken place in the two countries studied. Those laws and policies have typically embraced the international law. Yet, when tracing their lineage, the Convention’s effects are seen to be largely indirect to those domestic legal reforms. At the same time, the research identifies a significant non-legal impact of the Convention, which, regardless of the particular norms of the treaty or domestic incorporation thereof, profoundly affects the social fabric of Australia and Mongolia. The thesis argues that such an outcome emanates essentially from the symbolic or political power of the treaty, and describes the subtle ways in which the Disabilities Convention functions as a social symbol in the two domestic contexts.

Podstawowym celem dysertacji było ustalenie współczesnych konstytucyjnych i międzynarodowych standardów w zakresie przymusowego umieszczenia w zakładzie psychiatrycznym, rozumianego jako każda forma skierowania osoby z zaburzeniami psychicznymi do zakładu psychiatrycznego bez jej zgody. Analizowane standardy odnoszą się zarówno do materialnych przesłanek dopuszczalności detencji, jak i gwarancji proceduralnych oraz warunków pobytu w zakładzie. Rozważono w szczególności takie kwestie jak: czy i kiedy przymusowe umieszczenie w zakładzie psychiatrycznym jest w ogóle dopuszczalne? Jaki organ powinien podejmować decyzję o umieszczeniu w zakładzie? Jak powinna być skonstruowana procedura, aby spełniać wymóg rzetelności? Jakie warunki bytowe i terapeutyczne należy zapewnić pacjentom? Analizie zostały również poddane obowiązki państwa w zakresie zapewnienia osobom z zaburzeniami psychicznymi alternatywnych względem izolacji form leczenia i wsparcia. Rozprawa składa się z sześciu rozdziałów. Pierwszy ma charakter wprowadzający i poświęcony jest przede wszystkim wyjaśnieniu medycznego i prawnego znaczenia pojęć „zaburzenia psychiczne” oraz „niepełnosprawność” oraz przedstawieniu analizowanej w pracy problematyki w ujęciu historycznym. W drugim przymusowe umieszczenie w zakładzie psychiatrycznym zostało poddane analizie jako forma pozbawienia wolności. Przedstawiono więc konstytucyjne i prawno-międzynarodowe definicje wolności osobistej oraz pozbawienia wolności. Rozdział trzeci koncentruje się na przedstawieniu materialnych przesłanek dopuszczalności przymusowego umieszczania osób w zakładach psychiatrycznych. W rozdziale czwartym zaprezentowano standardy proceduralne. Rozdział piąty dotyczy warunków przymusowego pobytu w zakładach psychiatrycznych. Ostatni rozdział poświęcony został obowiązkom państwa w zakresie zapewnienia osobom z zaburzeniami psychicznymi dostępu do nieizolacyjnych form wsparcia i opieki. Przedstawione w pracy rozważania doprowadziły do konkluzji, że standardy prawne w zakresie przymusowego umieszczenia w zakładzie psychiatrycznym, w szczególności odniesieniu do jego dopuszczalności oraz ewentualnych materialnych podstaw, wciąż nie są jednolite. Wynika to przede wszystkim z odmiennych wizji statusu osób z zaburzeniami psychicznymi w Konwencji o prawach osób niepełnosprawnych z jednej strony oraz w orzecznictwie Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka i Trybunału Konstytucyjnego z drugiej. Ta pierwsza, zgodnie z tzw. społecznym modelem niepełnosprawności, kładzie nacisk na poszanowanie autonomii wszystkich osób z niepełnosprawnością, co znajduje swój wyraz w działalności Komitetu Praw Osób Niepełnosprawnych, który potępia wszelkie formy przymusowego leczenia psychiatrycznego. W świetle orzecznictwa EKPC i TK natomiast, choć przymusowe umieszczenie w zakładzie psychiatrycznym stanowi pozbawienie wolności i wymaga do uzasadnienia szczególnie ważkich argumentów, to jednak niekiedy jest ono dopuszczalne, a nawet konieczne dla realizacji przez państwo jego pozytywnych obowiązków w zakresie ochrony życia i zdrowia. Drugim wnioskiem sformułowanym w pracy jest to, że poszanowanie wolności osobistej osób z zaburzeniami psychicznymi wymaga nie tylko wprowadzenia odpowiednich gwarancji proceduralnych chroniących przed arbitralnym pozbawieniem wolności, ale i zapewnienia odpowiednich, nieizolacyjnych form wsparcia i opieki. Znajduje to swój wyraz przede wszystkim w wyrażonym w KPON „prawie do bycia włączonym w społeczeństwo” oraz, podkreślanej przez wiele organów międzynarodowych, konieczności przeprowadzenia procesu tzw. „deinstytucjonalizacji”.
The 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.

An authoress theoretically specifies the right choice home sites in the plane of Human Rights and in the context of the status of a person with intellectual disabilities in society as a citizen with all human rights and duties. The text reflects in particular Article 19 of the Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities setting the right of people to live in the community, with a choice place your home on an equal basis with others. Implementation of this law in the Czech Republic affects the continuing provision of a dual model of residential social services - community and institutional. The authoress also discusses the conflict between the decision of a person to live in an institution and a sense of social services, which must not hinder social inclusion and deepen social situation. Qualitative research presents a connection creation and the process of choosing the constitution as the home of four persons a place chosen by their home institution.

Positive obligations of state arising from Art. 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights focusing on persons with disabilities Absolute prohibition of torture and ill-treatment is clearly set in article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. When assessing particular obligations, which are arising out of it, we need to look deep into the European Court of Human Rights jurisprudence. The aim of this thesis is to analyse positive obligations of state arising from article 3 focusing on persons with disabilities. This is achieved also with the aid of various human right bodies such as UN Human Rights Committee, UN Committee on Torture or UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Due to the fact that this area is not really covered yet, certain parts of this thesis are focused on defining important terms and putting them together. The approach is analytic with elements of comparison between the view of European Court of Human Rights and other relevant international human rights bodies. The thesis is composed of three main chapters. Chapter One is introductory and defines the main terms such as ill-treatment, torture, scope of the article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights in connection with rights of persons with disabilities and the concept of positive obligations...

RESUMO: Introdução: A nova era da prática de saúde mental, orientada para a Recuperação, é baseada em direitos humanos, tendo culminado na convenção sobre os direitos das pessoas com deficiência (CRPD, 2008) e no WHO QualityRights ToolKit, 2012. Objectivos: Este estudo foi concebido para avaliar as atitudes dos profissionais e dos utentes em relação aos direitos humanos das pessoas com doenças mentais e incapacidades psicossociais, e a sua inclusão na comunidade. A avaliação das atitudes dos profissionais e dos utentes irá destacar os défices de conhecimento sobre a amplitude destes problemas e contribuirá para o aumento da consciencialização e capacitação nesta área. Métodos: Um conjunto de questionários foi distribuído a 104 profissionais (psicólogos, enfermeiros de saúde mental, assistentes sociais e médicos) e 100 utentes, nos três principais hospitais psiquiátricos do Sudão. Este conjunto incluiu um questionário sobre atitudes face aos direitos humanos das pessoas com incapacidade psiquiátrica, HRQ_6 (elaborado pelo autor com base na CRPD), a Escala de Atitudes sobre a Vida Comunitária - Versão Curta (CLAS-Short Form), dados sócio demográficos (ex: idade, gênero e estado civil), e uma questão sobre recuperação em saúde mental. As pontuações na HRQ_6 e as 4 subescalas CLAS (Empowerment, Similarity, Exclusion e Sheltering), são descritos, assim como a análise da variância realizada para identificar fatores associados aos resultados de cada subescala. As pontuações dos utentes foram comparadas com as pontuações dos profissionais e os resultados do HRQ_6 foram correlacionados com as 4 subescalas CLAS. Resultados: duzentos e quatro participantes, entre profissionais e utentes nos três principais hospitais psiquiátricos do Sudão. Os participantes de ambos os grupos tiveram atitudes negativas em relação aos direitos humanos de pessoas com incapacidades psicossociais e mentais. Adicionalmente, as pontuações sobre as atitudes favoreceram a Capacitação e a Similitude quando comparados com a Exclusão e o Abrigo. As respostas foram diferentes entre os grupos de profissionais e de utentes, homens e mulheres e entre médicos e outros grupos profissionais. A formação prévia em direitos humanos não teve impacto na atitude dos profissionais. Houve correlação entre o HRQ_6 e as 4 subescalas do CLAS. O estudo possibilitou uma visão muito necessária para o processo de capacitação e conscientização em direitos humanos de pessoas com doenças mentais e incapacidades psicossociais, e sua inclusão na comunidade. Conclusão: os profissionais e os utentes mantêm atitudes em relação aos direitos humanos das pessoas com doenças mentais e incapacidades psicossociais que são incompatíveis com a prática de saúde mental orientada para a recuperação. É necessária mais investigação para descobrir como estas atitudes em relação aos direitos humanos se desenvolvem na nossa comunidade, bem como a forma como a formação sobre direitos humanos pode influenciar as atitudes.
ABSTRACT: 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.
