UN Call for Papers on Article 12 of the Disability Convention

The UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has a call for papers on the practical and theoretical measures for the implementation of Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD1). The Committee recently had a call for papers on the legal measures for the implementation of Article 12 of CRPD. The Committee at its fourth session noted that the information that it received from its last call were exclusively on legal measures. The Committee would appreciate papers on the practical and theoretical measures for the implementation of Article 12. The Committee is of the opinion that papers on the theoretical and practical measures necessary to implement Article 12 "... will enable the Committee's Working Group on Article 12 to examine a wider range of issues raised by States Parties regarding the implementation of Article 12." Papers should be emailed to the Committee by 17 July 2011 in either English, Spanish or Arabic. The email address is crpd@ohchr.org
