Abstract

This study was compiled in order to analyse the scope of the right to humanitarian assistance set out in Article 11 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. To do so, I investigate the law in force and use the functional analysis method. I demonstrate that the scope of states’ obligations in the area of the right to humanitarian aid is not clearly defined. It should be emphasised that the provisions were formulated in such a way that they refer to the state’s obligations under international law, with particular emphasis on international human rights law and humanitarian law. However, due to the lack of an unambiguous legal framework in the sources of international law referred to above, the parties are left with considerable discretion as to how to implement these obligations. The Committee for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities plays an important role in shaping the right to humanitarian aid. The current work of the Committee is analysed in this article, with particular emphasis on the study by the States Parties’ Reports Committee. A full assessment of the right to humanitarian aid and the significance of its inclusion in the Convention will be possible only in the coming years, when the Committee’s practice in this area will be extended to include other instruments of protection, e.g. individual complaints.
