Globally, nations are actively creating and enforcing laws to promote social inclusion for individuals with disabilities, largely influenced by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (ratified by 150 countries). However, specialized knowledge in disability law remains scarce in many regions. This concentration in international, comparative, and domestic disability law aims to address this need by training legal professionals, policymakers, and academics to advocate for disability rights in their home countries.
