Unificación de los certificados de discapacidad internacional para el Mercosur-Propuesta.

Abstract

People with disabilities have suffered historical disadvantages since the dawn of humanity. While both national and international regulations have sought to establish affirmative action measures that promote real and formal equality for this priority group, a huge, but not impossible, challenge remains: the issuance of a disability card that allows for recognition and validation within Latin America. This thesis aims to analyze and promote the creation of a community disability card that allows people with disabilities who migrate for whatever reason to receive the constitutional and legal recognition their condition deserves. Finally, proposals are made for the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) and Ecuadorian legislation to implement new regulations that allow for: the creation of an international disability certificate for MERCOSUR member and associate states, similar to the European Disability Card; and the homologation of international disability certificates for national and foreign citizens within the Ecuadorian legal framework.
