Participation in the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2014, para. 22
- Paragraph text
- States not only have to create or promote spaces for participation, but also must enable people to eliminate barriers to accessing deliberative processes. People must have information on how to access these spaces and the procedures for getting involved. One expert has interpreted article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child to require "space" and "voice", i.e., the child must have the opportunity to express his/her views with adequate facilitation. The Committee on the Rights of the Child points out that "[t]hose responsible for hearing the child have to ensure that the child is informed about her or his right to express her or his opinion in all matters affecting the child.… The decision maker must adequately prepare the child before the hearing, … and has to take account of the views of the child in this regard". Article 29 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities requires States parties to ensure that persons with disabilities can effectively and fully participate in public life and actively promote an adequate environment for that purpose.
