Institutionalizing a New Understanding of Disability in Humanitarian Action at the International Level
摘要
This chapter examines the traditional views on disability (e.g., the charity and medical models), how activists, organizations of persons with disability (OPDs), and international organizations made disability a human rights issue, and discusses the central relevance of the CRPD for humanitarian policy and practice. In short, this chapter discusses how and to which extent a human rights model of disability has been institutionalized at the international level.
