The Rights of Disabled People During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Gauthier De Beco

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the consequences of the way of handling the crisis on the life of disabled people. While the virus itself has particularly hit these people, it considers how the measures adopted to contain this virus have affected their rights as protected by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Using international human rights law as point of departure, it examines the situation at the universal level although it especially focuses on the UK. Without ignoring those who reside in institutions, it studies how the isolation of disabled people has generated obstacles to exercising their rights.
