2008年，联合国《残疾人权利公约》开始生效。《残疾人权利公约》创造了一个充满活力的新的残疾人权利范式，赋予残疾人组织权力，并为残疾问题学者创造了一个新的范式。本文分析了《残疾人权利公约》的影响，并就如何利用该公约推动变革提供了实际指导。在该公约之前，残疾人受到一系列一般人权公约的保护。尽管残疾人在一般人权公约下得到名义上的保护，但他们的许多人权被剥夺。《残疾人权利公约》不仅仅是重申权利。它创造了一种新的权利话语，赋予民间社会权力，使残疾人比历史上任何时候都更容易获得人权。
In 2008 the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) commenced operation. The CRPD has created a dynamic new disability rights paradigm that empowers disability people's organizations and creates a new paradigm for disability scholars. This paper analyses the impact of the CRPD and provides practical guidance as to how this convention can be used to drive change. Prior to this convention, persons with disabilities were protected by a range of general human rights conventions. Despite receiving nominal protection under general human rights conventions, persons with disabilities have had many of their human rights denied to them. The CRPD goes further than merely re-stating rights. It creates a new rights discourse, empowers civil society and renders human rights more obtainable for person with disabilities than any time in history.
