Mexico and the Republic of Korea have now submitted their national reports to the Committee in on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The advance unedited version of the Republic of Korea's report is available in English and the report from Mexico is available in Spanish. See here. Article 35 (1) of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities requires each State Party to submit to the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities a report on measures taken to give effect to its obligations under the Convention. This is suppose to occur within two years after the Convention enters into force in the state. Reports are then requrired to be submitted at least every four years and whenever the Committee requests a report. Article 36 (1) also empowers the Committee to request further information from the States Parties.
