Publication Women with disabilities: Forever on the edge of #MeToo?(Full Court Press and Fastcase, Inc.,, 2020) Buckley, Lucy-Ann[No abstract available]Publication The right to education: Article 24 of the CRPD(Clarus Press, 2017) Broderick, Andrea; Quinlivan, ShivaunThe right to education has been described as “a pre-requisite to the exercise of many other rights.”2 This statement is fitting in terms of the educational rights of disabled people, which are intrinsically linked with empowerment and integration. Article 24 of the recently enacted United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) contains the cornerstone principle of inclusive education.3 It has been stated that “Article 24 arguably provides [a stronger] mandate for states to provide inclusive education than any previous human rights document.”4 The right to education is variously described as falling within the category of rights known as economic, social and cultural rights. As such, it is subject to progressive realisation.5 It is proposed to provide a brief overview of the meaning of this concept, before analysing the interpretation which has been accorded to the obligation to progressively realise the right to education by various treaty bodies. This paper will then consider the elements of Article 24 of the CRPD which are immediately realisable. Finally, the authors will analyse the extent to which State Parties to the CRPD are living up to their commitments in respect of the right to education under the CRPD.Publication Disability, EU law and the CRPD: A New Dawn?(Clarus Press, 2017) Quinlivan, Shivaun; Bruton, ClaireThis paper will examine the definition of disability in anti-discrimination employment law in Europe. This paper reviews some of the approaches to defining disability both within the European Union and by the European Union. The underlying theme of this paper is to assess what if any impact the European Union’s ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) will have on those definitions. The CRPD is a significant development for persons with disabilities, described by some commentators as “ground breaking.”2 It is ground breaking for a number of reasons, but most significantly for ensuring that it embodies the social model of disability.3 The main focus of this paper is to assess whether the various definitions of disability perpetuate the medical/individual model of disability or support the social model of disability and to determine the most appropriate approach to the definition within the EU.Publication From participatory design to participatory governance through sustainable HCI(Routledge, 2017-11-20) Kennedy, Rónán[No abstract available]Publication Matrimonial Home Bill(Hart Publishing, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing, 2017-02-09) Buckley, Lucy-Ann[No abstract available]Publication Recent Irish State Practice on the Law of the Sea(Brill Academic Publishers, 2012) Ronan Long; |~|
