Abstract

In response to international concerns about ongoing rights violations, this study presents a comparative analysis of state and civil society organisations’ discourse on the early phase implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (PWD) in the Commonwealth of Independent States. The findings show that PWD continue to experience rights-denial and barriers to shaping policy and accessing social welfare. There is a ‘disconnect’ between state and civil spheres that hampers effective implementation and explains the endurance of the medical model of disability across the post-Soviet space.

民间社会、权利与福利：探索《残疾人权利公约》在独立国家联合体的实施情况

摘要

为回应国际社会对持续侵犯人权的担忧，本研究对国家和民间社会组织关于《联合国残疾人权利公约》（PWD）在独立国家联合体早期实施的讨论进行了比较分析. 调查结果表明，残障人继续面临权利被剥夺和在制定政策和获得社会福利方面的障碍。国家和民间领域之间存在“脱节”，阻碍了有效实施，并解释了残疾医学模型在后苏联空间中的持久性。
