The EU-Person partnership has made some reports. The EU-Person partnership wants to help people with disabilities to have the equal right to decide as others. The reports show how the law discriminates against people with disabilities in some countries. The countries in the reports are: • Kosovo • Serbia • Turkey • Bosnia-Herzegovina • Croatia The project wants to make sure that countries follow the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (in short UN CRPD). The UN CRPD wants to make the world better for people with disabilities. |
The EU-PERSON partnership has announced the release of a new resource which highlights the barriers faced by people with disabilities when seeking to assert legal capacity.
The initiative will feature reports from EU-Person partnership members from Kosovo, Serbia, Turkey, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia.
Each report will provide an in-depth analysis of national legal systems and how they prevent legal capacity for people with disabilities. The reports will also include details on an array of different national campaigns at governmental and civil society level that are targeting reform based on compliance with Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD).
EU-PERSON (Partnership to Ensure Reforms of Supports in Other Nations) is a project funded by the European Union Directorate General for Enlargement and aims to bring together like-minded civil society organizations in Balkan states to support equal decision-making for people with disabilities. The reports were put together in partnership with the Centre for Disability Law and Policy at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
