This briefing paper by Bill Albert and Rachel Hurst, September
2005 looks at what the human rights approach to development means in practice,
drawing on both what disabled people have already achieved and highlighting
the challenges and opportunities offered by the new aid instruments and
structures. This is the second of two linked briefing notes prepared for
the Disability Knowledge and Research programme.
In the first (The social model of disability, human rights and developmment - Bill Albert, September 2004), it was argued that the social model of disability presents a conceptualisation of disability that makes the most sense in terms of an emancipating, participatory, human rights approach to development.
