Abstract

The study analyzes the ethical and legal basis of Brazilian legislation for people with disabilities and verifies whether the instruments used therein are in line with national and international law. It also investigates the coherence and cohesion of the law and its ethical norms to build an inclusive and just society. Through an exploratory and integrative review, it analyzed the legal pro- visions in force in Brazil published on the official websites of the Brazilian federal government and available on the Internet. It was evaluated whether the definition used for persons with disabilities follows the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Also, whether it is necessary to evaluate disabilities and who should perform this task professionally. Thirty-three legal norms were found, among which only three laws and two decrees are in line with the recommendations of the UN Convention. It is necessary to review the existing norms and promote the consolidation of laws, decrees, ordinances and normative instructions regarding the rights of persons with disabilities in a uniform manner, on an adequate technical-scientific basis. This review should be consistent with the provisions of the 1988 Federal Constitution, the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Brazilian Inclusion Law.

巴西残疾人立法。从人类尊严到社会包容。将提升能力作为一种道德要求

该研究分析了巴西残疾人立法的道德和法律基础，并核实其中使用的文书是否符合国内法和国际法。它还研究了法律及其道德规范的连贯性和凝聚力，以建立一个包容和公正的社会。通过探索性和综合性的审查，分析了巴西联邦政府官方网站上公布的和互联网上可获得的巴西现行法律规定。评估了用于残疾人的定义是否符合《联合国残疾人权利公约》。此外，是否有必要评估残疾，以及谁应该专业地执行这项任务。共有33项法律规范被发现，其中只有3项法律和2项法令符合联合国公约的建议。有必要在适当的技术-科学基础上，以统一的方式审查现有规范，促进巩固有关残疾人权利的法律、法令、条例和规范性指示。这项审查应符合1988年《联邦宪法》、《残疾人权利国际公约》和《巴西包容法》的规定。
