Abstract
The International Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities marks a turning point in the treatment of disability and among its most noteworthy features is that it treats disability as a question of human rights. In Spain, this Convention, which is inspired by the so-called social model of disability (and also in the model of diversity), has relevance at the constitutional level. According to Article 10.2 of the Spanish Constitution, the Convention has a fundamental effect on how the rights recognized in it are to be understood. This article proposes a reading of the Constitution according to the social model of disability (and the diversity model).
Keywords: Constitution, Disability, Interpretation, Non-discrimination.
