Bringing Together the United Nations <i>Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples</i> in Canada

This article explores the relationship between the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) with regards to the situation of Indigenous persons with disabilities living in Canada. In particular, it considers how the obligations and responsibilities identified under the UNDRIP and the CRPD can be interpreted and realized in a manner that is complementary and may amplify the likelihood of the goals of each instrument being realized. An explicit goal is avoiding the exclusions and erasures which arise when single identity politics dominate, which can lead to conflating, ignoring or an inability to engage intra-group differences. The article delves into the challenges and opportunities of reading these instruments together, and examines Canada’s commitments and actions toward implementing both of these instruments in dialogue with Indigenous governments and representative Indigenous disability organizations.

Abstract

This article explores the relationship between the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) with regards to the situation of Indigenous persons with disabilities living in Canada. In particular, it considers how the obligations and responsibilities identified under the UNDRIP and the CRPD can be interpreted and realized in a manner that is complementary and may amplify the likelihood of the goals of each instrument being realized. An explicit goal is avoiding the exclusions and erasures which arise when single identity politics dominate, which can lead to conflating, ignoring or an inability to engage intra-group differences. The article delves into the challenges and opportunities of reading these instruments together, and examines Canada’s commitments and actions toward implementing both of these instruments in dialogue with Indigenous governments and representative Indigenous disability organizations. Cet article explore la relation entre la Convention Relative aux Droits des Personnes Handicapées des Nations Unies (CRPD) et la Déclaration des Nations Unies sur les Droits des Peuples Autochtones (UNDRIP) en ce qui concerne la situation des personnes Autochtones handicapées vivant dans Canada. En particulier, il examine comment les obligations et responsabilités identifiées dans le cadre de la UNDRIP et de la CRPD peuvent être interprétées et mises en oeuvre de manière complémentaire et amplificatrice. Un objectif explicite est d’éviter les exclusions et les effacements qui surviennent lorsque les politiques identitaires uniques dominent, ce qui peut conduire à un amalgame, à une ignorance ou à une incapacité à prendre en compte les différences intra-groupe.
