The Flow of a Treaty Practice: Article 11 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Disasters

This chapter addresses the philosophical and practical implications of the treaty practice generated by Article 11 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and its creative potential for disability rights protection, specifically in the context of natural disaster. It focuses on the activation of Article 11 of the CRPD through international and domestic legal commitments and institutional reforms and argues that a creative treaty practice is exerting potentially change-making progress in addressing the needs of persons with disabilities affected and displaced by disasters.
