The conference, entitled ‘EU Disability Law and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities’ was attended by judges, prosecutors, and judiciary officials from all over the European Union. Dr Ferri spoke at the first session of the conference and also led a workshop and chaired the second session of the event.
The conference is part of a series of events devoted to EU Disability Law and the UNCRPD, in the framework of the European Union Programme for Employment and Social Innovation “EaSI” (2014-2020), organised by ERA on behalf of and in cooperation with the European Commission and with the support of the European Consortium of Foundations on Human Rights and Disability (EFC) and the European Disability Forum (EDF).
