Paragraph text
Consequently, good faith should be a foundation stone of all State actions during processes of dialogue and consultation with representative organizations of persons with disabilities, and should permeate States' interpretations of their own rules for participation in public decisions. Consultations must embrace transparency, mutual respect, meaningful dialogue and a sincere desire to reach consensus. They must take place in accordance with procedures that are appropriate to the circumstances of the diversity of the disability movement and must allow for reasonable and realistic timelines.
