With the increasing number of conflicts in almost every part of the world, it has become a pressing issue to analyze the rights of people with disabilities in the context of armed conflict.听Considering other humanitarian emergencies, it is essential to analyze States鈥� responses and international organizations鈥� actions regarding people with disabilities in these contexts.听
