Abstract
This article examines New Zealand's ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (the Disability Convention) and questions whether the assumption that New Zealand is treating its disabled people consistently with the requirements of the Convention is warranted. The authors conclude that New Zealand needs to reconsider aspects of the application of its domestic legislative framework before it can claim to be complying with the Convention.
