Persons with disabilities continue to face attitudinal and environmental barriers to participation in many areas of life. In order to challenge these barriers, persons with disabilities need to take political action. While Lebanon has not yet ratified the CRPD, Lebanon has made certain commitments in international law, under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the UN Convention against Corruption, that require it to provide access to information to all its citizens, including people with disabilities. Persons with disabilities face complex barriers to achieving their rights, and the CRPD represents an important attempt to overcome those barriers. The CRPD has extended and reformulated many human rights, incorporating concrete measures from existing human rights that ensure that the convention’s principles – accessibility, non-discrimination, inclusion, and respect for dignity and evolving capacity – are put into practice.
