Disability Rights or Disabling Rights? CRPD Alternative Report

In May 2008, the Hungarian organisations of persons with disabilities and their supporters decided to form a Disability Caucus for the purposes of making civil society’s own, parallel report on the status of the rights of persons with disabilities vis-à-vis the Convention. Following the model of the International Disability Caucus, which was a key party in the negotiations towards the Convention, the Hungarian Caucus is a flexible, non-hierarchic association, based on solidarity and subsidiarity. It was in the course of an open consensual process between December 2009 and May 2010 that this parallel report was created.
