Annotation:

The discussion article examines the models of disability on the basis of which the social policy of state is based, and provides an analysis of international instruments aimed at the realization of the rights of persons with disabilities in various sectors of social relations, containing principles and guidelines that influence the promotion, formulation and evaluation of policies, plans, programmes and activities at the international, national, and regional levels for the further promotion of equal opportunities for persons with disabilities.
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, ratified by the Russian Federation in 2012, is the most significant document in the realization of the rights of persons with disabilities to independent living. The achievements of the Russian Federation in ensuring accessibility of priority facilities and services in priority areas of life (health care, education, social protection, physical culture and sports, culture), development of innovative technologies for early assistance, assisted living, and assisted employment are considered.
The article identifies organizational, legal and methodological tools for the transition of the Russian Federation to a human rights model of disability within the framework of the fulfilment of international obligations.
