Abstract
Article 28 of the CRPD by jointly recognizing to persons with disabilities the right to an adequate standard of living and the right to social protection conjugates in the same provision the guarantees enshrined in Articles 9 and 11 of the ICESCR. The raison d'être of the provision consists in obligating Contracting States to satisfy basic needs of persons with disabilities (e.g., adequate food, clothing, housing, including public housing programs, clean water, retirement benefits and programs, as well as social protection and poverty reduction programs) and to ensure that all persons with disabilities and their families be able to enjoy access to a minimum essential level of such rights without discrimination. Indeed, a clear indication there exists that persons with disabilities are more likely, than other individuals, to be caught in a vicious cycle of poverty and disability, each of which is both a cause and consequence of the otherFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
