Course syllabus
The course focuses on the rights of persons with disabilities, the instruments of protection against the various forms of discrimination they suffer, and measures to promote a culture of inclusion.
The analysis will start from an examination of the relevant constitutional principles on the subject. Attention will also be devoted to supranational regulations and in particular to the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which has also contributed significantly to a change in the cultural approach to the issue.
Through the more specific examination of current legislation and case law, moreover, the lectures will investigate the forms of guaranteeing the rights of persons with disabilities in the fields of education, work, health and assistance.
Particular space will be devoted to analysing the most recent innovations, including Law No. 227 of 2021.
