Sažetak

In this paper, the author outlines the development of the protection of disabled persons through the international system of human rights and basic Croatian political features.The author singles out two sets of debates relevant for the contemporary foundation of the rights of disabled persons. The fi rst is the debate between John Rawls and Amartya Sen about “normally cooperating members of society”. The second debate on the positive and negative rights of disabled persons was prompted by the American with Disabilities Act (Anita Silvers, I. M. Young). On this basis, the author demonstrates the advantages of the disability approach based on human rights, which has replaced the former medical approach. Finally, he shows the importance of education for the development of abilities and for opening new opportunities of choice for disabled persons, providing them with an opportunity to create a life that they will feel justifi ed in appreciating.
