Abstract

It was in the 1990s that the human rights of persons with disabilities began to be discussed in our society. Based on the Declaration on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1975, the Charter on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was adopted on December 8, 1988. The human rights of persons with disabilities explains the important meaning of not being discriminated against just because they are persons with disabilities, the basics of human rights that all human beings have. The human rights of persons with disabilities are universal values, a basic right, and a declaration to protect the socially disadvantaged. Human rights are an important ideology that deals with the dignity and worth of human beings. In our society, people with disabilities should not be discriminated against for any reason. Persons with disabilities should be the center in matters related to the Anti-Discrimination Act and Human Rights. In addition, it can be said that it is necessary to develop and operate a system suitable for the local government for the disabled in the local community.

장애인 인권이 우리 사회에서 논의 되기 시작한 것은 1990년대이다. 1975년 UN총회에서 채택된 장애인 권리 선언을 바탕으로 1988년 12월8일 장애인 인권 헌장이 채택되었다. 장애인 인권은 모든 인간이 가지는 인권의 기본사항을 장애인이라는 이유만으로 차별 받아서는 안된다는 중요한 의미를 설명하고 있다. 장애인의 인권은 보편적 가치이며, 기본 권리이자 사회적 약자를 보호하기 위한 선언이다. 인권은 인간의 존엄과 가치를 다루는 중요한 이념이다. 인권은 사회복지실천을 위한 기본 패러다임이다. 우리 사회에서 장애인은 어떠한 이유로도 차별 받지 아니하여야 하며 장애인들의 인간다운 삶을 영위하기 위한 사회를 만들기 위해 그들은 사회복지서비스를 동등하게 받아야 하며 체감 가능한 정치권을 가져야 한다는 것이다. 그리고 장애인차별금지법과 인권에 관한 사항에 대해 장애인 스스로가 주체가 되어 장애인 인권을 보호하고 변화시키는데 초석이 되어야 한다. 아울러 지역사회에서도 장애인에 대한 지방정부의 실효성을 담보한 제도 개발 및 운영이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.
