The Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities recalls that the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which is based on the human rights model of disability, establishes a legal framework which focuses both on human rights and social development of persons with disabilities. Within this legal framework persons with disabilities are directly addressed in a unique stand-alone article creating obligations that apply specifically in situations of humanitarian emergencies and have no derogation clause that can permit the suspension of human rights in public emergencies, wherever they occur in the world.
