Part I The concepts: The human rights framing of disability The human rights framing of disability and, specifically, the rights set out in the Convention are relevant to an extremely broad section of the world’s population. As the WHO World Report on Disability (2011) noted: Persons with disabilities are diverse and heterogeneous, while stereotypical views of disability emphasise wheelchair users and a few other ‘classic’ groups such as blind people and deaf people. Disability encompasses the child born with a congenital condition such as cerebral palsy or the young soldier who loses his leg to a land mine, or the middle aged woman with severe arthritis, or the older person with dementia, among many others.33 Celebrations in Kathmandu marking the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, 3 December 2016.
