The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities also invites States to closely consult and actively involve persons with disabilities, through their representative organizations, when nominating candidates to serve as experts for the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (see art. 34 (3) of the Convention). This provides an opportunity for persons with disabilities to suggest qualified candidates and to be nominated as members of the Committee.
