GARCIA ORTIZ, Manuel. Risks of violation of the fundamental rights of people with disabilities in relation to health crises. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2020, n.50, pp.369-383.  Epub Nov 23, 2020. ISSN 1886-5887.

Threats to the rights of persons with disabilities and opportunities to develop in relation to their personal autonomy have been revealed during the period of state of alarm of the Spanish state produced by the health emergency derived from the 2019-2020 coronavirus disease pandemic. Respect for international human rights treaties obliges states to approach the vulnerable situation of people with disabilities from personal autonomy model and to fight against attitudes based on previous models of treatment of disability.

Keywords : bioethics; disability; COVID-19; human rights; social model; triage; health, patient care.
