Commission Recommendation of 8.12.2022
on procedural rights of suspects and accused
persons subject to pre-trial detention and
on material detention conditions.
The UNCRPD does not contain a definition
of “disability” and/or “persons with disabilities”. Its preambular paragraph (e) asserts
that “disability is an evolving concept”; Art
2 UNCRPD provides definitions of the
UNCRPD’s key terms, but not of “persons
with disabilities”. Rather a description of the
term “persons with disabilities” is included in
Art 1(2) UNCRPD, as part of the UNCRPD’s
purpose. See Emily Kakoullis, Yoshikazu Ikehara, in Ilias Bantekas, Michael Ashley Stein,
Dimitris Anastasiou, The UN Convention
on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities:
A Commentary (OUP 2018).
