Abstract

This article analyzes the right and guarantee of people with disabilities to participate in political and public life in conditions of equality with others, in the regulation established by the National Congress to protect and promote their participation in the election of conventional constituents and in the mechanisms designed by the Constitutional Convention to exercise their rights in the discussion and adoption of the Proposal for a New Political Constitution, taking into account the social barriers they face in exercising them. Likewise, it emphasizes the need and importance of legislative measures, as a duty of the State, to enforce the fundamental rights and freedoms of persons with disabilities and analyzes the principles of pre-eminence of human rights, equality and the prohibition of discrimination and the participation mechanisms established by the Constitutional Convention to promote, respect and guarantee human rights, considering their universality, indivisibility, interdependence and interrelation.

Keywords:
