      abstract = {This book, exploring the theoretical and practical  implications of the United Nations Convention on the Rights  of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), brings together an  international and interdisciplinary group of leading  researchers in the areas of philosophy of disability,  disability law, and disability policy. It addresses both  the philosophical foundations of the CRPD as well as  complex contemporary legal and policy debates. With a  comprehensive introduction outlining key milestones in the  development and implementation of the CRPD, the book  addresses the most fundamental questions the CRPD raises  for the way we think about human rights, law, and  disability, and how we operationalize rights in the legal  and policy domains. The contributors traverse themes of  personhood, equality, capacity, and intersectionality,  explore the dilemmas involved in translating these concepts  in practice, and reflect on the promises and limitations of  the human rights project.
