AFFIRMATION AND PROMOTION OF THE DIFFERENCES OF PERSONS WITH DESABILITIES AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE INTER-AMERICAN SYSTEM OF HUMAN RIGHTS

The purpose of this article is to analyze the right to the differences of persons with disabilities in the Inter - American System of Human Rights, based on the hypothesis that compliance with the guidelines emanating from this regional system has the purpose of providing to the jurisdiction and the internal public policies a more complete conception about this group of individuals. People with disabilities are those who present different ways of being in the world and who demand the guarantee of material and behavioral resources for the exercise of their rights. The line of work adopted in this article is based on the understanding and description of the different conceptions about disability, proceeding with the analysis of the right to differences considering international documents and the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. It highlights the inclusive potential of incorporating under domestic law the hermeneutical guidelines built in the international law about the rights of persons with disabilities in a commitment to international cooperation, collaborating with the resignification about the experience of disability in line with global and regional agendas.
