Disability and disability rights under the prohibition of discrimination

Disability is a phenomenon that has existed since the beginning of the history of societies. Throughout history, various evaluations have been made according to the prevailing point of view of the age. Ultimately, the main barrier preventing people with disabilities from accessing even basic human rights has been the phenomenon of discrimination. When we look at the main source of the great sufferings experienced in the history of societies, it is possible to come across the phenomenon of discrimination somewhere. Many of the basic human rights texts prohibit discrimination on different levels.
