The module covers the knowledge in the area of international disability law. Firstly, the interpre-tations and definitions on disability will be reviewed. The medical, social and human rights ap-proaches on disability will be reviewed. The differences between the models will be analyzed. The organizational structure of the international disability law will be analyzed, as well (UN, Council of Europe, EU). The course will cover the knowledge on the tiers of international and European regulation on disability law. The course presents the review of the fundamental terms and institutions of international disability law. The protection of the rights of people with disabil-ities will be analyzed and the different legal protection models (e.g. UN CRPD, CoE ECHR and EU) will be compared. The module develops the ability of comparative analysis of different legal systems – in the light of the regulation on the rights of people with disabilities.
