《残疾人权利公约》首次在国际层面确认了拒绝提供合理便利构成歧视。合理便利在公约乃至整个反歧视议题中都扮演着十分重要的角色。本文将通过考察合理便利的定义、起源、发展及特征,并结合美国、加拿大、欧洲及其成员国已有的成文法和案例来探究合理便利这一概念的内涵。 For the first time at the international level, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities recognizes that refusing to provide reasonable accommodation constitutes discrimination. Reasonable accommodation plays a very important role in the convention and in the entire anti-discrimination agenda. This article will explore the connotation of the concept of reasonable accommodation by examining the definition, origin, development and characteristics of reasonable accommodation and by combining the existing written laws and cases in the United States, Canada, Europe and other member states.
