Report of the Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons
with disabilities, Gerard Quinn
Summary
In the present report the Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with
disabilities, Gerard Quinn, highlights the moral agency of persons with disabilities in
rebuilding broken societies in the post-conflict context. The report uses concepts such
as moral repair and transitional justice in the context of peacebuilding and points to
the missing voices of persons with disabilities. Building on the nexus between peace
and security, development and human rights, the report focuses on the receptiveness
of the existing United Nations peacebuilding architecture to the active engagement of
persons with disabilities. The report also points to practical ways to make the
peacebuilding process more receptive to the voices of persons with disabilities in
order to do justice to their rights and to help assure a more inclusive, resilient and
sustainable peace for all.
