ABSTRACT

Recent progress in advancement of the rights of persons with disabilities emerges as a result of the adoption, promotion, and implementation of the international norms and standards relating to disability and development, such as the CRPD. An increasing international focus on the situation of persons with disabilities in development has led to the successful mainstreaming of the disability perspective and the rights of persons with disabilities in global development processes and their resulting frameworks, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
