What entitlements\u003cbr\u003eare legitimate and relevant in relation to ‘disability’? The Convention on\u003cbr\u003ethe Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), adopted by the UN in\u003cbr\u003e2006, provides answers to these questions. The answers have a dual heritage:\u003cbr\u003eInternational human rights law on the one side, and different models\u003cbr\u003eof disability developed within disability research and activism on the other.\u003cbr\u003eIn this study, Anna Bruce explores the CRPD and its ideological antecedents\u003cbr\u003ethrough a comparative analysis of this convention, the negotiations\u003cbr\u003ethat preceded it, four different models of disability (ICIDH, the Social\u003cbr\u003eModel of Disability, ICF and the Minority Group Model of Disability),\u003cbr\u003eand critical points that have been made against these models.\u003cbr\u003eThrough this comparison, Bruce illuminates central choices that were\u003cbr\u003emade in the negotiations and their effects for which entitlements are protected\u003cbr\u003efor whom, as well as the challenges facing the monitoring and implementation\u003cbr\u003eof the CRPD, with a particular focus on the right to health.\u003cbr\u003eThere is an ambiguous relationship between the right to health in human\u003cbr\u003erights law, and the model which had the strongest influence on the negotiations\u003cbr\u003eof the CRPD: the Social Model of Disability. This book shows that\u003cbr\u003ewhile there is considerable common ground between the CRPD and the\u003cbr\u003eSocial Model of Disability, the former departs from the latter on central\u003cbr\u003epoints, which has implications for the monitoring and implementation of\u003cbr\u003ethe right to health. In conclusion, Bruce argues that the relationship between\u003cbr\u003ethe Social Model of Disability and the right to health needs to be\u003cbr\u003eclarified in order for this right to materialise equally for the entire constituency\u003cbr\u003eof the CRPD.\u003cbr\u003eAnna Bruce is an international lawyer at Lund University. This book is\u003cbr\u003eher PhD dissertation.","brand":"Media-Tryck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31914565664857,"sku":"9789174739589","price":59.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9789174739589_1-which-entitlements-and-for-whom.jpg?v=1749963425","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/which-entitlements-and-for-whom","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
