Access to rights-based support for persons with disabilities 2017, para. 77 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | Since the adoption of the Convention, it is encouraging to note that many countries, including Argentina, Costa Rica, Czechia and Ireland, have revised their legal frameworks to recognize the right of persons with disabilities to access support to exercise legal capacity. In order to uphold a real paradigm shift, the implementation of supported decision-making systems must be accompanied by the abolishment of all substitute decision-making regimes. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities | Special Procedures' report |

Accessibility 2014, para. 7 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | The World Report on Disability Summary, published in 2011 by the World Health Organization and the World Bank within the framework of the largest consultation ever and with the active involvement of hundreds of professionals in the field of disability, stresses that the built environment, transport systems and information and communication are often inaccessible to persons with disabilities (p. 10). Persons with disabilities are prevented from enjoying some of their basic rights, such as the right to seek employment or the right to health care, owing to a lack of accessible transport. The level of implementation of accessibility laws remains low in many countries and persons with disabilities are often denied their right to freedom of expression owing to the inaccessibility of information and communication. Even in countries where sign language interpretation services exist for deaf persons, the number of qualified interpreters is usually too low to meet the increasing demand for their services, and the fact that the interpreters have to travel individually to clients makes the use of their services too expensive. Persons with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities as well as deaf-blind persons face barriers when attempting to access information and communication owing to a lack of easy-to-read formats and augmentative and alternative modes of communication. They also face barriers when attempting to access services due to prejudices and a lack of adequate training of the staff providing those services. | Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities | General Comment / Recommendation |

The right of persons with disabilities to participate in decision-making 2016, para. 44 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | It is of concern that, in some countries, representative organizations of persons with disabilities that are truly independent lack a real space for operation and participation, whereas government-sponsored organizations can operate freely. States must refrain from requiring a legal entity to be established or an organization for persons with disabilities to be registered as a precondition to the exercise of freedom of association. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities | Special Procedures' report |

The right of persons with disabilities to social protection 2015, para. 8 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | Moreover, social protection programmes can enhance the productivity, employability and economic development of persons with disabilities and therefore contribute to their income security. Well-designed programmes can help to remove social and economic barriers that impede access to employment, and to secure access to capital and skill development programmes, thus creating better income - earning opportunities for persons with disabilities. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities | Special Procedures' report |

Access to rights-based support for persons with disabilities 2017, para. 27 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | At the same time, there is a need to recover and acknowledge the personal experience of impairment that informs the support needs that persons with disabilities have in order to participate in society, experiences that may have been rendered marginal in the disability-rights debate. The acceptance of persons with disabilities as part of human diversity should influence the way societies perceive and respond to individuals' support requirements. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities | Special Procedures' report |

Accessibility 2014, para. 25 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | Accessibility is related to groups, whereas reasonable accommodation is related to individuals. This means that the duty to provide accessibility is an ex ante duty. States parties therefore have the duty to provide accessibility before receiving an individual request to enter or use a place or service. States parties need to set accessibility standards, which must be adopted in consultation with organizations of persons with disabilities, and they need to be specified for service-providers, builders and other relevant stakeholders. Accessibility standards must be broad and standardized. In the case of individuals who have rare impairments that were not taken into account when the accessibility standards were developed or who do not use the modes, methods or means offered to achieve accessibility (not reading Braille, for example), even the application of accessibility standards may not be sufficient to ensure them access. In such cases, reasonable accommodation may apply. In accordance with the Convention, States parties are not allowed to use austerity measures as an excuse to avoid ensuring gradual accessibility for persons with disabilities. The obligation to implement accessibility is unconditional, i.e. the entity obliged to provide accessibility may not excuse the omission to do so by referring to the burden of providing access for persons with disabilities. The duty of reasonable accommodation, contrarily, exists only if implementation constitutes no undue burden on the entity. | Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities | General Comment / Recommendation |

The right of persons with disabilities to participate in decision-making 2016, para. 78 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | States must consult and engage with representative organizations of persons with disabilities in good faith. This is a basic principle of good governance and international law, as stated in Article 2 (2) of the Charter of the United Nations. The principle of good faith requires parties to deal honestly and fairly with each other, represent their motives and purposes truthfully, and refrain from taking any unfair advantage. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities | Special Procedures' report |

Equality of opportunity in education 2011, para. 49 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | Other groups vulnerable to limited opportunities in education and requiring targeted support include persons with disabilities, children living in the street or without parental care, migrant workers and their families, refugees, internally displaced persons and those affected by natural disasters or conflict. Moreover, nomad populations, including pastoral populations who remain deprived of equal opportunities in education, deserve special attention, especially in Africa. | Special Rapporteur on the right to education | Special Procedures' report |

Equality of opportunity in education 2011, para. 55 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | The lack of support for transportation and inadequate facilities can also be a determinant factor in the exclusion of students with disabilities from education systems. Inadequate public transportation and poor infrastructure in rural and urban areas still impede access to schools for persons with mobility restrictions and those who have impaired vision. Within schools, inadequately built classrooms and toilets can also restrict their use by students with disabilities. | Special Rapporteur on the right to education | Special Procedures' report |

Issues and challenges to the right to education in the digital age 2016, para. 80 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | The Accessible Books Consortium (a multi-stakeholder partnership comprising the World Intellectual Property Organization, organizations that serve people with print disabilities and organizations representing publishers and authors) is converting books into formats to make them available to people who are blind, have low vision or are otherwise print disabled. Such partnerships should be encouraged to ensure human rights in education are met. | Special Rapporteur on the right to education | Special Procedures' report |

Persons with Disabilities 1994, para. 22 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | According to the Standard Rules, persons with disabilities, whether in rural or urban areas, must have equal opportunities for productive and gainful employment in the labour market. For this to happen it is particularly important that artificial barriers to integration in general, and to employment in particular, be removed. As the International Labour Organization has noted, it is very often the physical barriers that society has erected in areas such as transport, housing and the workplace which are then cited as the reason why persons with disabilities cannot be employed. For example, as long as workplaces are designed and built in ways that make them inaccessible to wheelchairs, employers will be able to "justify" their failure to employ wheelchair users. Governments should also develop policies which promote and regulate flexible and alternative work arrangements that reasonably accommodate the needs of disabled workers. | Committee on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights | General Comment / Recommendation |

Persons with Disabilities 1994, para. 13 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | The methods to be used by States parties in seeking to implement their obligations under the Covenant towards persons with disabilities are essentially the same as those available in relation to other obligations (see general comment No. 1 (Third session, 1989)). They include the need to ascertain, through regular monitoring, the nature and scope of the problems existing within the State; the need to adopt appropriately tailored policies and programmes to respond to the requirements thus identified; the need to legislate where necessary and to eliminate any existing discriminatory legislation; and the need to make appropriate budgetary provisions or, where necessary, seek international cooperation and assistance. In the latter respect, international cooperation in accordance with articles 22 and 23 of the Covenant is likely to be a particularly important element in enabling some developing countries to fulfil their obligations under the Covenant. | Committee on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights | General Comment / Recommendation |
