Sažetak
Developing countries face a twofold challenge in the treatment of persons with disabilities: insufficiencies in the health care systems ; and the challenges resulting from poor access to medical treatment or other interventions. Although the practice of institutionalization is present, the general lack of health care access leaves the treatment of an overwhelming number of persons with disabilities to their families and communities. The paper draws attention to the latter problem and explores the challenges of protecting persons with disabilities from torture and ill-treatment inflicted in the private sphere within the international legal framework. The paper compares the international legal provisions within the anti-torture and disability contexts, particularly where it regards the definition of torture and the scope of protection, and extrapolates on their complementary nature. It focuses on the UN CRPD as an innovative mechanism of stronger protection against torture in the private sphere.
