Disabilities

---

This handbook serves as a practical guide for parliamentarians to understand and advance the rights of persons with disabilities through legislation, oversight, and policy-making. It outlines key international human rights standards, particularly those reflected in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and explains the responsibilities of lawmakers in promoting equality, accessibility, non-discrimination, and full participation in society. The book provides tools for reviewing existing laws, developing inclusive policies, allocating budgets, and engaging with disability organizations and stakeholders. By combining legal guidance with practical examples, the handbook aims to strengthen the capacity of parliaments to create enabling environments that uphold the dignity and rights of persons with disabilities.
