Thesis
Meredith’s thesis is on Article 33 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Article 33 focuses on the domestic implementation of the rights enshrined in the Convention, and is an innovation not only in the field of disability law, but in human rights law in general. Article 33 makes the CRPD the first human rights convention to require states take a particular approach in implementation of a treaty. Meredith’s research focuses on how this article affects implementation and the best practices in establishing and making use of the framework required by Article 33.
