Hansen1Faculty of Law, Common Law Section, University of OttawaCollege of Law, University of Saskatchewan In this paper, we examine the history of Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its implications for the equality rights of people with disabilities in education. We specifically consider leading recent cases in the area such as Eaton, Auton, Wynberg and Moore in order to provide a road map to advocates of people with disabilities as to potential strategies that will empower people with disabilities. While disability rights advocates lost all four cases, we suggest ways in which Article 24 might shift the balance in favour of disability rights advocates. https://wyaj.uwindsor.ca/index.php/wyaj/article/view/4481
