Ten years ago, the European Union made a historic accession to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). This book analyses the impact of the CRPD on EU non-discrimination law and governance to date, and explores whether the theory has been put into practice.To understand if the CRPD is living up to its full potential to substantially improve the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities in the EU, this book brings together the practices of the European Court of Justice (CJEU) with regard to disability discrimination in the workplace. Additionally, it investigates whether the governance mechanisms underlying the EU Framework for promoting, protecting, and monitoring the CRPD are effectively fostering the implementation of the CRPD and the role of civil society.This book will be of interest to academics, law students, and legal practitioners working in the field of EU non-discrimination and equality law.Volume 109 in the Series Modern Studies in European Law
