This article describes and clarifies the human rights of persons with disabilities in the context of detention in light of the recently adopted and already in force Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (the Convention). Focusing on the Convention, the article sheds light on the legality of certain forms of detention affecting persons with disabilities, the substantive and procedural requirements for their detention, and on their rights in relation to conditions of detention. This article also provides an account of the different treatments and practices inflicted on persons with disabilities in prisons and other institutions and assesses whether they constitute torture and ill treatment. The authors argue that the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities represents a paradigm shift that requires States to modify and adopt laws, policies and practices that fully respect the right to liberty of persons with disabilities, and their equal enjoyment of rights while in detention, including the right to be free from torture and ill treatment.
本文根据最近通过并已生效的《残疾人权利公约》（《公约》），阐述并澄清了残疾人在被拘留情况下的人权问题。本文聚焦于《公约》，阐明了影响残疾人的某些拘留形式的合法性、对其进行拘留的实体和程序要求，以及他们在拘留条件方面的权利。本文还介绍了监狱和其他机构对残疾人实施的不同待遇和做法，并评估这些待遇和做法是否构成酷刑和虐待。作者认为，《残疾人权利公约》代表了一种范式转变，要求各国修改并采用充分尊重残疾人自由权以及他们在被拘留期间平等享有权利（包括免受酷刑和虐待的权利）的法律、政策和做法。
