INCLUSIVE EDUCATION AS A HUMAN RIGHT: INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND NATIONAL REFORMS IN DISABILITY RIGHTS

Аннотация

Inclusive education has emerged as one of the central pillars of contemporary human rights law, affirming the principle that no person should be excluded from learning opportunities on the basis of disability. While international legal instruments such as the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) establish strong obligations for States to ensure access to inclusive education, the translation of these commitments into effective national reforms remains uneven. This article examines the right to education of persons with disabilities through the lens of international human rights standards and the legislative reforms undertaken within Uzbekistan. It situates the issue within the broader normative framework established by the United Nations and regional human rights systems, before turning to the domestic legal order to analyze the extent to which global commitments are reflected in national law and policy.
