Summary
This chapter will analyse how international legal norms have approached the regulation of ability equality in one area of life: exercising the right to work. The regulation of labour rights has traditionally been the province of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The ILO has been the primary source of international labour law since its formation 100 years ago in the Treaty of Versailles. Section I of this chapter will analyse how the ILO has approached ability diversity at work and then Section II will show how the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), with its disability human rights paradigm and statement on the right to work and employment, has transformed how international law regulates the rights of persons with disabilities to work.
