THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONAL MECHANISMS OF THE UNITED NATIONS COMMITTEE ON THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

Abstract

In the final decades of the new era, in which human rights have become superior to any other concept, it would not be an exaggeration to state that all types of legal norms have once again reinforced the honor, dignity, freedom, and all political and social rights of the individual. A person does not differ from other individuals in any respect; regardless of physical condition, status, social origin, lineage, or other factors, all individuals possess equal rights and obligations. Persons with disabilities are also consistently protected in accordance with universal human rights standards. Special conditions and various privileges exist for them, and international legal norms and international organizations provide protection and support. This article provides information on the establishment and main forms of activity of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
