The right of persons with disabilities to social protection 2015, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- Third, in the case of means-tested programmes, income thresholds are usually determined at the household level through direct means-testing or proxy means- testing. These instruments tend to overlook the extra cost of disability and, when it is considered, an individual assessment of personal and environmental factors affecting that cost is hardly ever made. Thus, persons with disabilities with higher support needs tend to be overlooked.

- Paragraph text
- States should ensure that provisions relating to the access of persons with disabilities to social protection are included in disability-specific legislation and in mainstream legislation and policy on social protection. Indeed, the review process should encompass legislative areas beyond the traditional scope of social insurance and disability-specific laws, including for instance legislation on education, health, employment, housing and social inclusion.

- The United Nations system has been responsive to this shift in paradigm and become, over the years, a main actor in promoting a human rights-based approach to disability. While the General Assembly started to include persons with disabilities in its resolutions in the 1950s, human rights language became visible in the 1970s through the adoption of two declarations: the Declaration on the Rights of Mentally Retarded Persons of 1971, and the Declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons of 1975. The United Nations system paid increasing attention to persons with disabilities throughout the 1980s, adopting in 1982 the World Programme of Action concerning Disabled Persons, and proclaiming the period 1983-1992 the United Nations Decade of Disabled Persons.

- In 1993, the General Assembly adopted the Standard Rules on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities. This non-binding document anchored the issue of disability in a framework of non-discrimination and equal opportunity, and served as an instrument to advance the rights of persons with disabilities in the context of social development and beyond. The Rules created a monitoring mechanism within the framework of the Commission for Social Development, namely, a Special Rapporteur on Disability, tasked with assisting States in assessing and measuring their progress in implementing the Rules, providing advisory services, identifying obstacles and suggesting suitable measures that would contribute to the successful implementation of the Rules. The monitoring mechanism also included a panel of experts created by international organizations representing persons with disabilities. Between 1994 and 2014, the Commission appointed three Special Rapporteurs on Disability, who played an instrumental role in advancing the global disability agenda.

- Paragraph text
- The establishment of the new mandate comes as important recognition of how far the global community has come in the recent past in the advancement and the promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities. In a very short period of time, there has been an extraordinary paradigm shift, a change in the way persons with disabilities have been perceived and hence treated. From its initial focus on charity and medical considerations, the international community has moved towards a model that recognizes that social and environmental barriers are the real obstacles for the enjoyment of human rights by persons with disabilities. It is in that interaction between a person with an impairment and his or her environment where discrimination and rights violations arise, resulting in disability, and it is only by addressing those social aspects that persons with disabilities will be fully included in their communities.

The annual Conference and its parallel events gather an important number of stakeholders to exchange views on progress and challenges in implementing the Convention.

- Paragraph text
- In parallel to these disability-specific developments, and guided by the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations human rights framework continued to grow with the adoption in 1966 of two international covenants - one on civil and political rights, the other on economic, social and cultural rights - and subsequent thematic human rights treaties throughout the following decades. In this context, persons with disabilities were viewed mainly from an anti-discrimination perspective, first implicitly under "any other status". In 1989, the Convention on the Rights of the Child was the first binding treaty to explicitly mention disability as a ground of discrimination. Although persons with disabilities were in theory equally protected under the core human rights treaties, however, they would remain at the margins of human rights discourse until the new millennium.

The mandate strengthens the United Nations system in its efforts to realize the rights of persons with disabilities and reinforces an important message: persons with disabilities are holders of human rights on an equal basis with others, and the global community must work together to promote their inclusion from a human rights-based approach.

- Paragraph text
- The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ties the social understanding of disability to a legal framework, defining duty-bearers and rights-holders, and implementation and accountability frameworks. In doing so, it anchors disability to a human rights-based approach and serves as a starting point for work in all areas of life, including as a tool for promoting this approach to development. In its preamble, the Convention recognizes that disability is an evolving concept that results from the interaction between persons with impairments and attitudinal and environmental barriers that hinders their full and effective participation in society. Through the adoption of the Convention, the global community took a decisive step from approaches based on considerations of charity and rehabilitation to social and human rights models - and from a soft law framework to a legally binding human rights treaty that clarifies that persons with disabilities are holders of human rights on an equal basis with others.

In response to a rapidly increasing number of ratifications, the amount of State party received, and the need for interpretation and guidance on Convention provisions, the Committee has grown from 12 to 18 members and meets for two four-week sessions and two pre-sessional working group sessions annually. To date, the Committee has reviewed 19 States party initial reports, held three days of general discussion and issued two general comments: on equal recognition before the law (art. 12), and on accessibility (art. 9).

- As the jointly agreed and highest international standard on the rights of persons with disabilities, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities should guide all actions related to the advancement of the rights of persons with disabilities, including the work of the Special Rapporteur. The Convention has had an overwhelmingly positive reception; since 2006, it has been ratified or acceded to by 150 States and the European Union, and the Special Rapporteur has joined other stakeholders in a call for universal ratification. This demonstrates an acceptance by the global community of the Convention as a universal standard and a collectively agreed benchmark against which progress is to be measured.

In the work of the Special Rapporteur, accessibility will be relevant mainly in two interdependent ways. First, there is an aim to ensure full accessibility of events, meetings and documentation in the official duties of the mandate holder. Second, accessibility will be seen as a cross-cutting issue in the substantive work of the Special Rapporteur, ensuring that it is fully present in national legislative frameworks, and in policy and programming, as well as a priority area of United Nations agencies, funds and programmes and other close partners.

- [In addition and within the framework of her mandate, the Special Rapporteur intends to undertake her tasks through the following working methods:] Building ownership. The Special Rapporteur believes that efforts that are fully owned by the concerned societies are the only ones that bring about sustainable change. There is no single model that fits all; responses that are successful in one part of the world may be detrimental in another. For this reason, it will be important to build on ownership and culturally tailored responses at the national level in the advancement of the rights of persons with disabilities. In her work, the Special Rapporteur will thus aim to promote efforts compliant with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and solutions related to advancing the implementation of the rights of persons with disabilities that at the same time take into account cultural and national contexts and particularities.

- Owing to the participatory nature of the negotiations on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, it can be argued that the Convention enjoys ipso facto a certain level of unprecedented legitimacy, accorded to it not only by a large number of States but also by the rights-holders themselves. Persons with disabilities and their representative organizations were not merely consulted in the drafting process; their expertise was recognized and valued, and they became part and parcel of the negotiating process. This had a direct impact on the text of the Convention, where participation and inclusion are present throughout, including as a general principle (art. 3), a general obligation of States parties in relation to any decision-making process (art. 4) and a specific obligation in relation to developing a national implementation and monitoring framework (art. 33). The Special Rapporteur attaches great importance to such an outstanding participatory approach and wishes to maintain and reinforce it in her work.

The Convention brings about many concepts and new ideas that challenge outdated perceptions of persons with disabilities.

In cooperation with relevant United Nations agencies and other organizations, the mandate holder will explore the feasibility of developing training modules for national stakeholders to support the effective advancement of the rights of persons with disabilities.

This dual approach in the advancement of the rights of persons with disabilities is of particular importance since, despite various efforts made to achieve inclusion, persons with disabilities have often remained invisible and excluded from non-disability-specific discussions and processes.

While respecting the independence and specificity of each mandate, these mechanisms will continue to work together in a coherent manner to build upon each other's work and to collaborate when relevant. The three mechanisms have started to coordinate their work informally with the aim of exchanging information on a regular basis and identifying areas where joint action is of added value and can bring about a stronger impact.
