- Abstract
The EU regards the issue of persons with disabilities as a human rights issue. It also follows from this that the alleviation of the disadvantages deriving from disabilities is a legal issue the handling of which cannot be exclusively left to the discretion of the Member States. The domestic regulations of the Member States pertaining to persons with disabilities must also comply with the requirements of international and supranational regulation. The disability law should be interpreted in the framework of a multi-pillar system. The study examines the rules of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU pertaining to the disability and analyses the effect of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In this context the following aspects are particularly important: the making the Charter the part of primary EU legislation, EU accession to the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the fundamental pillars of EU regulations concerning persons with disabilities.
