Remaining webinars/workshops covered a wide range of themes including but not limited to research, leadership, administrative and management skills as well as scientific topics such as eating disorders, medically unexplained symptoms, psychosis.

    Results

  • Summary

    Chapter 15 addresses African and Asian disability laws and policies, highlighting the regional developments stimulated by the entry into force of the CRPD. It presents the structure and functions of the African Union (AU) and discusses the main tenets of the African human rights system, before turning to an examination of the evolution of the AU’s disability policy. Particular attention is paid to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Charter) and to the Protocol to the African Charter on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Africa (RPDA Protocol). The chapter cursorily addresses the role of the League of Arab States in protecting and promoting the rights of persons with disabilities, with a focus on the 2004 Arab Charter on Human Rights. Finally, the chapter discusses the role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in advancing the rights of persons with disabilities, and it examines the role of the UN regional body –– the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) – in facilitating the exchange of good practices on accessibility and inclusion in the region.
