The aim of the study is to discuss the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities un¬der the system of law of the Council of Europe. In particular, the focus is on the rights of per¬sons with disabilities to independence, social integration, and participation in the life of the community under the European Social Charter (ESC). This paper covers both an analysis of the Charter, with special attention paid to Article 15, and an examination of the decisions of the European Committee of Social Rights (ECSR) with respect to this provision. Besides the regulation of these rights at the European level, this paper also discusses different examples of state regulations’ conformity or non-conformity with Article 15 ESC.
