Policy and Rights
Special Rapporteur's visit to Kyrgyzstan:
‘highlighting positive steps taken through legislation, policy and other measures to improve the situation of persons with disabilities, including the adoption of the “Accessible Country” programme (2023), provisions on inclusive education in the new Law on Education (2023) and increases in cash disability benefits. The Special Rapporteur suggests that a more ambitious agenda should be set, starting with the repeal of legal provisions and practices, including legal incapacitation, institutionalization and segregation in education that openly contradict the Convention, and the introduction of a new law on the rights of persons with disabilities.’ (Apr, UN)
