Disabled Justice? (eBook, PDF)

Access to Justice and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

International and comparative in scope, this book analyses the experience of people with disabilities through the entire justice system and also considers the participation of people with disabilities in a variety of roles such as witness, defendant, victim, plaintiff, lawyer, judge and juror. More broadly, it also critically examines the subtle barriers of access to justice which might exist in a given society, including barriers to grassroots disability advocacy, the right to vote and the right to stand for election which may apply to people with disabilities.
