DESCRIPTION:Public Lectures Resilience of Society and Economy \n\nInclusion as a human right – The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities\nThe 2006 UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD), which came into force in Switzerland in 2014, enshrines inclusion as a human right and marks a paradigm shift in the understanding of disability: away from a medically oriented approach towards a human rights and social approach. At its core is the obligation of States Parties to systematically remove barriers – physical, social, communicative and institutional – and to ensure the full, effective and equal participation of persons with disabilities in all areas of life. The lecture highlights the normative significance of the UN CRPD, its central principles, such as non-discrimination, self-determination, and participation, as well as the challenges of national implementation, including in Switzerland. It also outlines the steps still needed to achieve inclusion as a human right.\n\n***\nProgramme \n\n17.00 \n\nWelcome and introductory remarks – Prof. Dr. Sarah Progin-Theuerkauf et Prof. Dr. Chantal Martin Soelch\n\n17.15\n\nInclusion as a human right: The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – Prof. Dr. Markus Schefer\n\n18.15\n\nConclusion and aperitif to follow (Hall A130)
