Abstract
The purpose of the current research was to investigate the right to sport, recreation and leisure time of disabled persons from national and international human rights documents point of view. This research was of qualitative type and was done by content analysis method. The statistical population was all the national and international laws and regulations related to the right to sport, recreation and leisure of people in general and the laws and regulations related to disabled persons in particular. The data collection tool was a coding checklist. To ensure the correctness of the recorded information and to prevent biases and personal opinions, 3 coders were used to determine the agreement coefficient between the coders. The findings showed that although this issue has been emphasized in many national and international laws and regulations, but Organizations and institutions active in the field of sports, recreation and leisure time have not performed their duties towards disabled persons as they should and have not prepared the conditions for disabled persons to benefit from sports and recreational facilities. Therefore, it demands that the pitiful view of the disabled Persons be changed to a righteousness view, the conflicts between the laws are resolved and the laws have a guarantee of implementation and in addition to these, an independent regulatory body supervises the actions of the responsible agencies and the correct implementation of the laws by them, and in case of violation, legal action will be taken against them.
