Abstract: Guidelines on the Deinstitutionalization of Persons with Disabilities, including in Emergencies (UN 2022) can be seen to embody an "abolitionist" approach, since they aim to realize the right of people with disabilities to live independently and be included in the community. To do this, they require States Parties to plan for deinstitutionalization processes and take measures to prevent institutionalization. French public policy has institutionalized a separation that organizations have an interest in defending through the medico–social model. Groups of people with disabilities and their families are campaigning to develop new forms of support and caregiving outside of that provided by institutions. Over the last 20 years, the disability sector in France has undergone a revolution, changing the course of public policies in the long term. The chapter suggests a number of avenues for reflection from a critical analysis of the UN Guidelines.
