This chapter outlines how, and the extent to which, the new disability human rights paradigm introduced by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) alters the balance between the protection of disability and copyright. It observes that changes to this balance have manifested primarily in the context of international copyright protections, which have traditionally precluded persons with a visual impairment from accessing not only the vast majority of the world’s written works but also visual art and films. The chapter explains constructions of disability and copyright in international law and the real medical conditions and information on which they are based. It also explains how the CRPD has drawn on these models to transform the concept of disability in international law and thus introduce a new disability human rights paradigm. The human rights agenda of the CRPD substantially transforms how international human rights law approaches persons with disabilities.
