Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine and comment on disability rights legislation by focusing on international documents on people with impairments of the last decades, in order to provide more information on the dynamics of the disability rights movement and their moral plea for full inclusion. Design/methodology/approach By analyzing the international legislation and most important guidelines with respect to people with impairments, it is possible to portray a socio-political change by unfolding the agenda of the historical dimension of the decisive events. Findings The long and difficult struggle of people with impairments to beneficiaries of full human rights protection is a fundamental socio-political change that is documented by adhering to important international legislation and guidelines. Originality/value The examination of recent international legislation with respect to people with impairments provides historical context for current developments in the context of disability and full inclusion by conceding human rights as their moral and legal foundation.

In fact, it is difficult to name any other normative approach that people all over the globe are more familiar with and that is more accepted.…”

“…In order to accomplish this goal, the human rights approach is an important ally for four principal reasons. 1 First, the language of human rights has a great rhetorical, moral, and popular force. Human rights violations are globally considered as severe offenses calling for immediate redress.…”
