    Gewalt gegen Menschen mit Behinderung in Einrichtungen ist nach wie vor weit verbreitet, wird aber in ganz Europa kaum gemeldet. Gewalttaten umfassen ein breites Spektrum ausbeuterischer, missbräuchlicher und erniedrigender Handlungen, die gegen die Verpflichtungen der Europäischen Union (EU) und der EU-Mitgliedstaaten gemäß internationalen und europäischen Menschenrechtsnormen verstoßen. Der Schutz vor Gewalt basiert auf dem Übereinkommen der Vereinten Nationen über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderungen (im Folgenden „Behindertenrechtskonvention“), dem wichtigsten Menschenrechtsvertrag für die gleichberechtigte Wahrnehmung aller Menschenrechte und Grundfreiheiten durch Menschen mit Behinderung.

    Nasilje nad osobama s invaliditetom u ustanovama i dalje je rašireno, ali se o njemu u pravilu nedovoljno izvještava u cijeloj Europi. Nasilje uključuje širok spektar izrabljivanja te zlonamjernih i ponižavajućih postupaka koji su u suprotnosti s obvezama Europske unije (EU) i njenih država članica preuzetih na temelju međunarodnog prava prava i propisa EU-a u području ljudskih prava. Zaštita od nasilja temelji se na Konvenciji UN-a o pravima osoba s invaliditetom (UN KPOSI), primarnom međunarodnom ugovoru o ljudskim pravima za ravnopravno uživanje svih ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda svih osoba s invaliditetom.

    Pur rimanendo un fenomeno diffuso, la violenza contro le persone con disabilità negli istituti è largamente sottostimata in Europa. Gli atti di violenza comprendono un ampio spettro di atti degradanti, di sfruttamento e abuso che violano gli obblighi dell’Unione europea (UE) e degli Stati membri dell’UE ai sensi del diritto internazionale ed europeo in materia di diritti umani. La protezione contro la violenza si fonda sulla Convenzione delle Nazioni Unite sui diritti delle persone con disabilità (CRPD), il principale trattato in materia di diritti umani che garantisce il pari godimento di tutti i diritti umani e di tutte le libertà fondamentali da parte delle persone con disabilità.

    Vardarbība pret personām ar invaliditāti aprūpes iestādēs joprojām ir plaši izplatīta, taču Eiropā par to tiek ziņots nepietiekami. Vardarbīga rīcība ietver plašu ekspluatējošas, ļaunprātīgas un pazemojošas rīcības spektru, kas ir pretrunā Eiropas Savienības (ES) un ES dalībvalstu pienākumiem saskaņā ar starptautiskajām un Eiropas cilvēktiesībām. Aizsardzība pret vardarbību ir balstīta uz ANO Konvenciju par personu ar invaliditāti tiesībām (CRPD), kas ir primārais cilvēktiesību līgums, lai personas ar invaliditāti varētu vienlīdzīgi izmantot visas cilvēktiesības un pamatbrīvības.

    Przemoc wobec osób z niepełnosprawnościami w placówkach opiekuńczych jest nadal szeroko rozpowszechniona w całej Europie i w większości przypadków jest niedostatecznie zgłaszana. Akty przemocy obejmują szeroki zakres działań polegających na wykorzystywaniu, znęcaniu się i poniżaniu, które są sprzeczne ze zobowiązaniami Unii Europejskiej (UE) i państw członkowskich UE wynikającymi z międzynarodowego i europejskiego prawa dotyczącego praw człowieka. Ochrona przed przemocą opiera się na Konwencji ONZ o prawach osób niepełnosprawnych, która jest podstawowym traktatem dotyczącym praw człowieka, zapewniającym osobom z niepełnosprawnościami równe korzystanie ze wszystkich praw człowieka i podstawowych wolności.

    A violência contra as pessoas com deficiência nas instituições continua a ser generalizada, mas muito pouco denunciada em toda a Europa. Os atos de violência incluem um vasto leque de atos exploratórios, abusivos e degradantes que violam as obrigações da União Europeia (UE) e dos Estados-Membros da UE ao abrigo do direito internacional e europeu em matéria de direitos humanos. A proteção contra a violência baseia-se na Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência (CNUDPD), o principal tratado de direitos humanos para o gozo igualitário de todos os direitos humanos e liberdades fundamentais pelas pessoas com deficiência.

    Násilie voči osobám so zdravotným postihnutím v zariadeniach inštitucionálnej starostlivosti stále existuje, ale na území celej Európy je z veľkej časti nedostatočne nahlasované. Akty násilia zahŕňajú široké spektrum vykorisťujúcich, násilných a ponižujúcich činov, ktoré sú v rozpore s povinnosťami Európskej únie (EÚ) a členských štátov EÚ podľa medzinárodného a európskeho práva v oblasti ľudských práv. Ochrana pred násilím je zakotvená v Dohovore Organizácie Spojených národov (OSN) o právach osôb so zdravotným postihnutím (UNCRPD), primárnej zmluve o ľudských právach, na základe ktorej osoby so zdravotným postihnutím môžu na rovnocennom základe uplatňovať všetky ľudské práva a základné slobody.

    Nasilje nad invalidi v socialnovarstvenih zavodih je po vsej Evropi še vedno zelo razširjeno, vendar se o njem večinoma premalo poroča. Nasilna dejanja vključujejo najrazličnejša izkoriščevalska, zlonamerna in ponižujoča dejanja, ki so v nasprotju z obveznostmi Evropske unije (EU) in držav članic EU na podlagi mednarodnega in evropskega prava o človekovih pravicah. Zaščita pred nasiljem temelji na Konvenciji Združenih narodov o pravicah invalidov, ki je glavni sporazum o človekovih pravicah za enakopravno uživanje vseh človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin invalidov.

    Η Ευρωπαϊκή Σύμβαση Δικαιωμάτων του Ανθρώπου και το δίκαιο της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης παρέχουν ένα όλο και πιο σημαντικό πλαίσιο για την προστασία των δικαιω-μάτων των αλλοδαπών. Η νομοθεσία της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης σχετικά με το άσυλο, τα σύνορα και τη μετανάστευση εξελίσσεται με ταχείς ρυθμούς. Υπάρχει ένα εντυπωσιακό σώμα νομολογίας του Ευρωπαϊκού Δικαστηρίου Ανθρωπίνων Δικαιωμάτων που αφορά ειδικότερα τα άρθρα 3, 5, 8 και 13 της ΕΣΔΑ. Το Δικαστήριο της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης καλείται όλο και περισσότερο να αποφανθεί σχετικά με την ερμηνεία των διατάξεων του δικαίου της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης στον τομέα αυτό.
