Réttarstaða fatlaðra (Legal status of the Disabled in Iceland)

Published by the Icelandic Human Rights Center, Dr. Jóhann Guðmundsson‘s Memorial Fund and the Educational Fund. Publisher: the University of Iceland.

This publication deals with the legal status of the disabled in Iceland and outlines the Icelandic law regarding this issue. The formal legal status, as it is portrayed by the law and international agreements,  is compared to the real legal status as it is carried out in reality. First, there is a general discussion on the legal status of the disabled and then the special rights are outlined in each chapter, for example the right to education and the right to personal freedom.
