Abstract

The development of disability rights saw a spate of growth in the period preceding 2013 both internationally and in the East African region. During this period, most East African Community (EAC) partner states ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)1 as well as took steps to enact or review domestic legislation in the area of disability. At the East African regional level, several instruments were concluded for the empowerment of persons with disabilities as well as the advancement of their rights. However, there appears to have been a slowing down of this initial momentum, as will be shown below2. As an organising bloc, the EAC has various mandates. Although the Community is premised on the economic co-operation of partner states parties, a number of areas of co-operation are spelt out in both its Establishing Treaty and the Protocol.3 For example, under the Protocol, while partner states have the broad mandate to harmonise social policies, they are specifically obligated to, among others, harmonise their social policies relating to good governance, the rule of law and social justice; promotion and protection of human and peoples’ rights; promotion of equal opportunities and gender equality;  promotion and protection of the rights of marginalised and vulnerable groups.4
2012年后东非社区残疾人权利的发展
2013年之前,残疾权利的发展在国际和东非地区都出现了大量增长。在此期间,大多数东非共同体伙伴国批准了《联合国残疾人权利公约》1,并采取措施颁布或审查残疾领域的国内立法。在东非区域一级,缔结了几项赋予残疾人权力和促进残疾人权利的文书。然而,这一最初的势头似乎有所减缓,如下所示2。作为一个组织集团,选管会有不同的任务。尽管共同体以伙伴缔约国的经济合作为前提,但其《建立条约》和《议定书》都规定了许多合作领域。3例如,根据《议定书》,虽然伙伴国家有广泛的任务来协调社会政策,但它们特别有义务,协调与善政、法治和社会正义有关的社会政策;促进和保护人权和人民权利;促进机会平等和两性平等;促进和保护边缘化和弱势群体的权利。4
