It reviews how different research approaches understand the \u201ceffectiveness\u201d of human rights law and distinguishes between the concepts of compliance and effectiveness, arguing that the two do not necessarily coincide. Drawing on the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in China, Japan, and South Korea, the talk introduces the concept of \u201cnoncompliant effectiveness.\u201d This concept helps illuminate the broader ways in which international human rights law can shape social practices and institutions, even in the absence of full legal compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speaker Bio:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Renci (Mercy) Xie is a disabled scholar who received her LL.M. and S.J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law on a full scholarship.
