Abstract
The people with visual impariments are an important part of the society. Their special condition requires them to have special civil rights in addition of their general civil rights. Human dignity and positive discrimination can be the fundamentals of law to support the blinds rights which the roots of these principles can be found in religious precepts and fundamentals of legal laws. In this study we are going to achieve a desirable model of legal system to support the blinds in addition to the privileges and rights that citizens generally have; which, on one hand, this model can illustrate the harms, disadvantages and defects of the existing legal system in support of the people with visual impariments, and on the other hand, it can show the desirable horizon of these rights. Dispersal of supportive rules, deficiency of executive dysfunction, lack of guarantee of proper performance in enforcing legal rules, lack of effective participation of the people with visual impariments from the codification to legislation of laws and lack of using NGOs for people with visual impairments in the field of making and enforcing the law are the most important bugs and disadvantages of the existing legal system. In addition, the appropriate model should be drawn at three levels: structural, normative and behavioral level so that lead to an effective, efficient and transparent legal system.
