dc.description.abstractThe role played by international law in guaranteeing the right to an adequate standard of living is an important one.1 For a number of years, international bodies have sought to introduce certain levels of financial and other benefits which aim to provide for a basic standard of living for persons in need.2 In addition, international law has recently turned to the issue of the rights of persons with disabilities, which includes the right to social security and an adequate standard of living. The United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)3 was adopted by the General Assembly in December 2006 and has become the primary international law instrument in realising the rights of persons with disabilities, including the right to an adequate standard of living.en_US
