This book, a comprehensive exploration of the theoretical and practical implications of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), brings together an esteemed international and interdisciplinary group of leading researchers in the fields of philosophy of disability, disability law, and disability policy. It delves into the philosophical foundations of the CRPD, as well as engaging in intricate contemporary legal and policy debates.

The book begins with a comprehensive introduction that provides a historical backdrop, highlights key milestones in the development and implementation of the CRPD, and sets the stage for the subsequent chapters. It addresses the fundamental questions that the CRPD raises for our understanding of human rights, law, and disability, and explores how these concepts can be operationalized in the legal and policy domains.

The contributors to this volume traverse a range of themes, including personhood, equality, capacity, and intersectionality. They examine the complexities involved in translating these concepts into practical realities and reflect on the promises and limitations of the human rights project. Through their insightful analyses and thought-provoking perspectives, the book offers valuable insights into the ongoing challenges and opportunities faced by individuals with disabilities worldwide.

This book is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, activists, and anyone interested in advancing the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. It provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective on the CRPD and its implications, and serves as a catalyst for further discussions and actions to promote the full inclusion and empowerment of individuals with disabilities in society.
