UN 장애인권리협약에 의한 장애인복지법 분석 - 제19조(자립생활)를 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Convention on the rights of Persons with Disabilities was signed by Korea on 9 January 2009. The convention provides that States, which ratify it, should enact laws and other measures to improve disability rights. With this point of view, this paper placed independent living as analytic center that examined the problem of The Welfare Act for Disabled. Findings show that we have to take complementary measures for some articles about independent living on the The Welfare Act for Disabled. Second, we need more accurate legal definition about independent living and state s responsibilities for it. Third, we give special attention to articles about
social integration on the basis of the principles of equality and non-discrimination so that prevent inconsistent ideas. Finally, it is need that we have to reform the The Welfare Act for Disabled for the support of independent living and community interaction. It is clear that, unless the legislative structure is amended to include an entitlement to independent living on the basis of the Convention, disabled people will go on to be denied their full human rights.
