摘要
International human rights apply to all persons. These are not only meant to protect all humans from discrimination, and inhuman, degrading, and cruel treatment, but also enforce humans' civil, political, social, economic, and cultural rights. This study aims to focus on the role of international law in protecting the rights of persons with disabilities and unfolding their rights. The study found that international law has some transparent and clear standards for protecting the rights of people with disabilities compared to other people. However, the challenges are related to the enforcement of these standards and the enactment of treaties, binding to all the member states without interfering with their sovereignty. The study recommends that the international legal system should first be able to make sure that the language of rights is comprehendible for all the state parties and that they are properly briefed about the required change through change in the legal regime. Because, member states are not inclined to give up their norms, culture, and beliefs. This transformation will be achieved by first creating understanding and then implementing it.
