The Ibero- American Network of Experts on the United Nations Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities is an academic and social organization. Its mission is the study, implementation and monitoring of the International Convention on the rights of persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
The CRPD represents, most likely, the highest aspiration to human rights realization of persons with disabilities. The adoption of CRPD supposed the accomplishment of many of the historical claims of persons with disabilities. This probably became possible when disability began to be addressed as a human rights issue and was reaffirmed when the CRPD addressed all of its provisions influenced by the social model of disability.
The Network seeks to facilitate ineraction, cooperation and exchange of knowledge and good practices between groups of experts from different regions with the aim of achieving national recognition and compliance of the rights enshrined in the CRPD.
The Network is coordinated by two bodies specialized on Human Rights and Disability issues, namely: the Center for Research and Human Rights Education "Alicia Moreau" of Faculty of Law of the National University of Mar del Plata and EQUAL Asociation.
