On cover & title page: Integration of people with disabilities

This publication contains the proceedings of a Council of Europe conference, held in Strasbourg in November 2004, which reviewed current Council of Europe instruments designed to promote and protect the rights of people with disabilities. It focuses on the right of children with disabilities to grow up within a family and in a community context, and the need to end the institutionalisation of children with disabilities.

This volume describes the extraordinary success of the international political movement of people with disabilities to include disability as a human rights issue. The authors are renowned disability rights attorneys, university professors, and activists who practice, teach and work internationally. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
