The Manual on Human Rights, Disability and Laws which was released in a print, Braille and accessible CD format at the National Conference on Disability in New Delhi on 23 June 2005, is a compilation of an impressive range of positive examples of disability jurisprudence. It explores a variety of general and disability specific instruments, such as core international human rights treaties, soft law instruments - declarations, proclamations and rules - in order to establish their relevance for persons with disabilities.
