Comparative Analysis of International Standards for the Protection of Persons with Disabilities and National Legal Norms

Abstract

This article provides a comparative analysis of international standards for the protection of persons with disabilities and national legal norms. The study addresses the lack of harmonization between these two sources of law, which poses challenges in ensuring consistent and effective protection of disability rights. Through a critical analysis of the problem and the exploration of potential solutions, the research highlights the importance of aligning national laws with international standards to promote inclusivity and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities. The findings emphasize the need for model legislation, capacity-building initiatives, harmonization frameworks, monitoring mechanisms, inclusive participation, and international cooperation. The practical and legal significance of this research lies in its potential to guide policymakers, legal professionals, and disability rights advocates in the development of inclusive legal frameworks. The article concludes by providing recommendations for future research and legislative initiatives in the field of disability rights.
