We are thrilled to announce the launch of our blog series on The Oxford Human Rights Hub, Twenty-five Years of Protection Against Disability-based Discrimination in the EU: An Evolving Understanding of Disability. Twenty-five years ago, the EU legally enshrined the prohibition of discrimination based on disability in the Employment Equality Directive. A series of posts coordinated by the our Disability Rights Working Group takes the arrival of this twenty-fifth anniversary as an invitation to reflect on the meaning and scope of this prohibition. After a quarter of a century, what developments have there been in the understanding of disability in European anti-discrimination law? This first post goes into the legislative framework and the evolving understanding of disability-based discrimination in landmark cases of the Court of Justice of the EU (‘the Court’).
