Listen "The CRPD, the state and civil society – in conversation with Professor Peter Bartlett"

Episode Synopsis

In this ‘in conversation with,’ I talk to Professor Peter Bartlett about his article “Beyond the liberal subject: challenges in interpreting the CRPD, and the CRPD’s challenges to human rights,” and discuss how the CRPD challenges conventional civil and political rights, the implications for the role of the state (and what happens if the state is not benign), and what the CRPD requires of civil society.As Peter notes, the article forms part of a special edition of the Human Rights Law Review on the CRPD and next generation human rights thinking.For the original video, see here.
