    • Although the proposed convention is an expedient framework for discussing the repercussions of incorporating disability-based rights into the extant body of human rights treaties, my arguments do not depend on its passage. At the same time, I freely admit that I favor enactment of the proposed convention, and, moreover, that I am privileged to have been involved in its development

    • Strictly speaking, the capabilities approach originates with Amartya Sen's development economics theories. See, e.g, AMARTYA K. SEN, DEVELOPMENT AS CAPABILITY EXPANSION, IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR THE 1990s 1 Keith Griffin & John Knight eds, 1990, hereinafter SEN, DEVELOPMENT AS CAPABILITY EXPANSION, The premises proffered, by Nussbaum and Sen, respectively, provide essential support for arguments made in this Article. In Parts III.B-C, I build on, and strongly critique, Nussbaum's version to help model a framework for human rights because I find her feminist perspective conducive to disability rights discourse. I utilize Sen's economic methodology primarily in Part IV.B. to argue in favor of extending human rights protection to the poor because of its deeper link to development economics

    • Whether treaties are actually enforced, as well as the broader question of whether international law is law, has long been the subject of academic debate, the resolution of which goes far beyond this Article. For now it bears noting that perhaps the most significant objection to the notion of enforceability is the observation that under international law States parties retain the ability to opt out of treaties, in whole or in part, as well as to reserve independent understandings of their application. For two very different perspectives on the implications of this State prerogative, compare Oona A. Hathaway, The Cost of Commitment, 55 STAN. L. REV. 1821 2003, maintaining that traditional understandings of treaty ratification do not adequately account for the likelihood of national compliance

    • These provisions are a mixed blessing. On the positive side, they provide an additional avenue of protection for disabled persons experiencing double discrimination based on more than one identity characteristic. For example, a person may suffer prejudice as a result of being disabled and of Inuit heritage. On the negative side, they only protect individuals who encounter discrimination serially. Because disability is almost uniformly relegated to other status, disabled people's rights are frequently overlooked. One example of such disregard is the Declaration that proceeded from the 2001 World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance that was convened in Durban, South Africa. See World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia & Related Intolerance, Aug. 31-Sept. 8, 2001, Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, U.N. Doc.

Although the Declaration encourages the General Assembly to enact disability specific human rights protection, it does not include disability among the otherwise inclusive catalog of identity statuses it deemed to suffer discrimination. See id. at para. 180. More trenchantly, individuals whose rights are violated "solely" due to their disability identity receive no added protection.

    • Philosopher Anita Silvers provides an eloquent application of the social model of disability to the accommodations required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and her underlying theory applies equally well to the statute's international progeny. ANITA SILVERS, Formal Justice, in DISABILITY, DIFFERENCE, D ISCRIMINATION: PERSPECTIVES ON JUSTICE IN BIOETHICS AND PUBLIC POLICY 13 (Anita Silvers et al. eds., 1998). She argues that being physiologically anomalous is viewed as abnormal only because a dominant group imposed conditions favorable to its own circumstances, and not because of "any biological mandate or evolutionary triumph." Id. at 73. Accordingly, the social model of disability recognizes the source of disabled people's relative disadvantage as a hostile environment that is "artificial and remediable" instead of "natural and immutable." Id. at 74-75. "If the majority of people, instead of just a few, wheeled rather than walked, graceful spiral ramps instead of jarringly angular staircases would connect lower to upper floors of buildings." Id. at 74. Thus, a wheelchair-user experiences disability through antagonistic surroundings, including lack of access to workplaces, educational programs, medical services, and other areas open to the public. Because the ADA accommodations seek to eliminate subordination of individuals with disabilities, Silvers argues that the statute implicitly utilizes the social model of disability, and as such is a product of formal and equalizing justice.

    • Clarification is in order. Disability rights advocates applying the social model to this hypothetical instance would surely argue that both public transportation systems and health care systems that excluded disabled persons based on socially contingent factors (e.g, physically inaccessible buses and insurance policies that exclude coverage for people with AIDS) were artificial in nature because there was no reason to have buses with steps as opposed to ramped ones, and that there was no intrinsic difference between treating pneumonia arising from the flu as opposed to HIV, What disability rights advocates have not traditionally done is link the two concepts so that equality in the artificially excluded workplace also mandates equality in the artificially excluded public transportation and health care areas. The reason for this disconnect is that the two arguments cannot be joined so long as the underlying basis of their assertions is formal justice, meaning that the extent of disab
    • Clarification is in order. Disability rights advocates applying the social model to this hypothetical instance would surely argue that both public transportation systems and health care systems that excluded disabled persons based on socially contingent factors (e.g., physically inaccessible buses and insurance policies that exclude coverage for people with AIDS) were artificial in nature (because there was no reason to have buses with steps as opposed to ramped ones, and that there was no intrinsic difference between treating pneumonia arising from the flu as opposed to HIV). What disability rights advocates have not traditionally done is link the two concepts so that equality in the artificially excluded workplace also mandates equality in the artificially excluded public transportation and health care areas. The reason for this disconnect is that the two arguments cannot be joined so long as the underlying basis of their assertions is formal justice, meaning that the extent of disabled versus non-disabled equality is assessed in terms of sameness under civil rights statutes that focus on the acts or omissions of one actor (whether an employer or a public service entity) rather than of society at large. This subtle weakness of disability rights advocacy has recently been taken up by Samuel Bagenstos. He points out that as far as the ADA is concerned, there is no statutory reason why the provision of a reasonable accommodation ought to stop at the workshop door. Samuel R. Bagenstos, The Future of Disability Law, 114 YALE L.J. 1, 26-32 (2004) (discussing the importance of proper health care to ensure greater employment opportunities).

    • That people would choose not to achieve their own full potential raises a secondary concern, namely that of preference deformation. This concept posits that circumstances exist in which people's basic preferences (which they would recognize if unimpeded) are negatively influenced by external social forces, such as traditional hierarchies or religious beliefs. Nussbaum's response, which draws on the work of scholars as diverse as Gary Becker, Richard Posner, Thomas Scanlon, and Amartya Sen, is that her approach makes the possibility of central capabilities (which should be universally appealing) available, but does not force the issue.

    • Nussbaum's model is concerned about participatory justice as evidenced by the inclusion of respect and non-humiliation as two key elements. For instance, Nussbaum asserts that Sescha, Eva Kittay's severely disabled daughter, lives a more socially participatory life at a segregated facility than she did in her parent's home. That may well be true, and so Secha has benefited. However, one can interpret the capabilities approach to permit people with severe intellectual disabilities to live in group homes that (unlike Sescha Kittay's) are also completely segregated from mainstream society so long as the residents interact with their peers and carers in a respectful and non-humiliating manner. Nussbaum would likely disagree with this wholly exclusionary situation, but it is one that can be interpreted from the way her model is set out.

Throughout her scholarship, and especially in FRONTIERS OF JUSTICE, Nussbaum takes great pains to rebut the position maintained by John Rawls and other philosophers subscribing to social contract theory. Those commentators maintain that to justify the distribution of primary goods, recipients must adequately contribute to society. In other words, the prevailing philosophical belief she strongly rebuts is that resource distribution should be tied to an individual's capacity to contribute to others. It is therefore odd that the idea of contribution has crept into Nussbaum's capabilities approach. Yet by setting species typicality as the level of capability that is the threshold for cutting off resource distribution, Nussbaum applies this determination both as a descriptive and a normative qualification, and in so doing FRONTIERS OF JUSTICE may be read as letting this idea back in.

Yet by setting species typicality as the level of capability that is the threshold for cutting off resource distribution, Nussbaum applies this determination both as a descriptive and a normative qualification, and in so doing FRONTIERS OF JUSTICE may be read as letting this idea back in. This is because Nussbaum's use of species typicality is both factual and normative. As applied, it is not only the level of capability that humans typically enjoy, but also the threshold level demanded for a life of human dignity. But why should the level of capability typical of the species also be the level needed for achieving or preserving a dignified life? If this equation is intuitive, it probably is because we associate species typical levels of capability as being valuable because they enable us to care for ourselves and to be perceived as contributing to others. By contrast, lower than typical species functioning is undignified and not truly human because those individuals are a burden to society. Nussbaum frames her arguments in terms of choice, and values species typical levels of capability as an important justification for allocating resources to bring everyone up to these levels. Her capability approach is set forth in terms of agency, and Nussbaum believes that people need not exercise their capabilities. In fact, however, social pressure to exercise capabilities and their associated functioning is a familiar phenomenon. Consider, for example, the debate over cochlear implants. Once the technological capability exists to enable deaf people to access aural communication, social pressure is brought to bear on deaf individuals to use this technology rather than rely on sign-language interpreters precisely because the species typical mode of communicating makes them better able to contribute without being burdensome to others. I thank Anita Silvers for pointing out the difficulties (possibly insurmountable) of invoking species typicality as a standard without also inviting the stigmatization and exclusion of those who cannot be brought up to the standard.

    • To illustrate: Nussbaum's capabilities approach does not provide resource distribution to child prodigies or savants to enable either group to exceed a species typical norm by developing their special talents. This is because resources to these individuals (assuming they were otherwise capable of attaining the ten capabilities) would stop being distributed at the point that they achieved an average human functioning level. By contrast, a disability human rights approach would provide resources for the members of both groups who are impaired in some respects but gifted in others to exceed species typical levels of the capabilities they can achieve, regardless of whether they could attain species typicality in all ten capabilities.

The first two may be thought of as requiring a State to refrain from violating an individual's human rights and to protect that person from violations by non-State actors. The third, however, mandates the State to proactively and positively provide the means by which to achieve human rights.
