the right to inclusive education in international
human rights law
Education is a fundamental human right that is recognised as essential for the
attainment of all civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. It was not
until2006,withtheadoptionoftheUNConventionontheRightsofPersonswith
Disabilities (CRPD), that the right to inclusive education was codified. This
volume fills a major gap in the literature on the right of disabled people to
education.Itexaminesthetheoreticalfoundationsandcorecontentoftheright

ways of implementing this right through a study of legal strategies and
mechanisms. With contributions by leaders in the field, this volume advances
scholarship on the right to inclusive education by examining the content and
practiceoftherightatthenational,regionalandinternationallevels.
