Abstract

A number of international documents claim that disability was reclassified as a human rights issue, the last and most important is the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities witch applies human rights to disability, stating in a legal instrument the right to have rights. In some cases, the content of existing rights, when it comes to people with disabilities, is fundamental enriched and changed often by recasting them. In other cases, new categories of rights are promoted significantly extend some existing rights, so that, ultimately, to create new rights specific to persons with disabilities. National laws and policies must take into account the general principles and obligations provided by the international documents on human rights because the disability legislation based on human rights acts as a "civilizing factor" in any society that respects diversity and aims to create a truly open society for all.
