Summary/Abstract: Protection of persons with disabilities is instituted in the national law through the establishment of a set of rights to be enforced by means of practical levers in the form of legal instruments pursuant to the European and international regulations. The regulatory framework concentrates a complex set of rules from the special regulation in the matter comprised in Law 448/2006, which develops the constitutional principle enshrined by art. 50 of the Constitution, which was revised in 2003. The study aims to present also some reflections on a number of relevant legal cases handled by the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the aspects of novelty in the content of the regulations issued at national level regarding the monitoring committee established for overseeing the enforcement of the provisions of art.33 from the Convention of United Nations on the rights of persons with disabilities, adopted in New York, December 13th 2006.
