This article researches intersectionality in the area of international human rights law. Moving attention away from the field of anti-discrimination law, it examines how an intersectional approach to international human rights law can offer stronger human rights protection to people who share a number of characteristics associated with distinct groups of marginalised people. In order to illustrate the application of this approach the article provides a case study addressing three groups of disabled people who possess such characteristics, namely: 1) disabled women; 2) disabled people who belong to racial or ethnic minorities and; 3) disabled children. It concludes by arguing for the adoption of ‘intersectional mainstreaming’ in international human rights law. The article thereby aims to close a gap in research on intersectionality in the field of human rights. Providing a novel analysis of intersectionality, it proposes a remedy for the deficiencies of anti-discrimination law and shows how intersectionality can be applied in practice.

保护隐形：国际人权法的交叉途径

本文研究了国际人权法领域的交叉性。将注意力从反歧视法领域移开，它研究了国际人权法的交叉方法如何能够为具有与不同边缘化人群相关的许多特征的人们提供更有力的人权保护。为了说明这种方法的应用，文章提供了一个案例研究，针对具有这些特征的三类残疾人，即：1) 残疾妇女；2）属于少数民族或少数民族的残疾人；3）残疾儿童。最后，它主张在国际人权法中采用“交叉主流化”。因此，本文旨在弥合人权领域交叉性研究的空白。对交叉性进行了新的分析，提出了对反歧视法缺陷的补救措施，并展示了如何在实践中应用交叉性。
