Útdráttur:The article highlights how the strategic use of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities (CRPD) by disabled people’s organizations (DPOs) in Iceland has produced a shift in the
balance of power with regard to how, and by whom, disability legislation and policy in Iceland is
developed. The article draws on a study examining the last stages of a consultative process between
representatives of DPOs and policymakers in Iceland leading up to the adoption, in May of 2018,
of core disability legislation, Laws pertaining to services for disabled people with long-term support
needs (No. 38/2018). It examines the process from the perspective of representatives of DPOs through
in-depth interviews and document analysis. This article draws on critical theory and the human
rights approach in its analysis, with a particular emphasis on the roadmap to the coproduction of
policy provided by the CRPD and the UN CRPD Committee through the issuance of guidance to
States Parties to the Convention. It draws attention to the DPOs’ ongoing refocusing of their strategies,
and their emphasis on harnessing the rights contained in the CRPD to gain recognition of their right
to participation in the coproduction of policy and in changing process norms.
