從CRPD公約看我國智能障礙被告刑事辯護權平等保護之落實

A Study on Right to Defense of Defendants with Intellectual Disability

本文旨在以經內國法化之身心障礙者權利公約（CRPD公約）做為橋樑，探討我國現行刑事司法制度中，有關智能障礙者以被告身分參與刑事司法程序之權利保障規定，並特別著重辯護權平等落實以及國家應提供之合理措施（reasonable accommodation）之檢討。再者，本文將介紹智能障礙及其弱勢被告身分，說明如何建構合理措施使其不因智能障礙而於司法程序遭受歧視，並針對辯護人應如何協助強化為智能障礙被告實質有效辯護提出建議以及未來國家施政展望。
