Abstract
Whilst obviously of prime importance for persons with disabilities, the new United Nations Conventions on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities should also be of utmost interest for the construction and conceptualisation of human rights generally. This article explores the Convention from the point of view of general human rights. Specifically, it argues that because of the irreducibility of persons with disabilities' rights experience, the Convention is led to comprehensively ignore a number of founding and traditional dichotomies of international human rights law. In the process, it ends up producing a fuller concept of the subject of human rights, and a more holistic view of the idea of rights.
