Summary: Guidance for human rights monitors

The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has published a new tool: "Monitoring the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Guidance for Human Rights Monitors”. The objective of this publication is to provide background information on the CRPD, its provisions and monitoring mechanisms. The tool will outline principle issues arising in the monitoring of the CRPD, such as the inclusion of persons with disabilities in monitoring activities, ensuring accessibility and the monitoring of specific provisions. The publication, available in English and Russian, is aimed at actors already engaged in human rights monitoring such as UN human rights officers, national human rights institutions, and civil society.
