The measures in question are legislative, administrative and any other measures that allow full and effective implementation. For instance, legislation alone without the necessary funds increases the risk of non-implementation of well-thought-out laws due to a lack of resources. It is also necessary to review the entire legislative arsenal to ensure that there are no laws contrary to the Convention. If so, it would therefore be necessary to amend or abolish those conflicting laws in order to remain in line with the Convention.<\/p><p>On the national level, Article 33 UN CRPD indicates three relevant mechanisms for the implementation and monitoring of the Convention.<\/p><ol><li>States Parties must designate one or more focal points within the government for matters relating to the implementation of the Convention and can establish a coordination mechanism within the government to facilitate related actions in different sectors and at different levels.<\/li><li>States Parties must maintain, strengthen, designate or establish a framework, including one or more independent mechanisms to promote, protect and monitor implementation of the Convention.<\/li><li>Civil society, in particular persons with disabilities and their representative organizations, must be involved and participate fully in the monitoring process.<\/li><\/ol><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Although monitoring is dealt with in a separate section (see below), it can also be seen as an implementation measure. It is even an excellent way to verify the effectiveness of the measures being undertaken and to refine them accordingly while correcting human rights violations.<\/p><p>Parliaments also play a role in the implementation of the Convention because, in addition to adopting legislation, they act as a safeguard against the executive by holding them accountable. This is why better information on the rights of persons with disabilities to parliamentarians could have a lasting impact on the progress of UN CRPD implementation since they would be better informed about the issues concerned.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7283f8b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7283f8b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3caa446\" data-id=\"3caa446\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f52588d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f52588d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

It is a 60-80-page report that contains information of a general and factual nature on the implementation of all the human rights treaties which a State has ratified. It is transmitted in the same format to all human rights treaty bodies to which the State is a party and should be updated by the State on a regular basis in order to ensure that the information is current. The common core document is therefore not disability-specific.<\/p><p>The treaty-specific document: it is a report of a maximum of 60 pages and should contain specific information on the implementation in law and in practice of the articles of the UN CRPD. State Parties, according to the structure in numerical order of the articles of the Convention, mention whether they have adopted policies, strategies and a national legal framework for the implementation of each right enshrined in the Convention. They should also identify resources for that purpose and the cost-effectiveness in the use of those resources. The State Parties should also indicate any monitoring mechanism to ensure that the rights contained in the Convention are realised and that the obligations are integrated into their actions. They also must indicate the obstacles that go beyond the possibilities of the States Parties that impede the realization of the rights of the Convention and the details of the steps that have been or must be undertaken to overcome them. Any remedies available for violations of the rights of the Convention will also be mentioned, as well as statistical data on the status of the implementation of the Convention&#8217;s rights.<\/p><p>State Party Reports: <br \/>State Parties are required to submit State Parties Reports at least every four years, or more frequently if so, requested by the Committee. Those States Parties Reports should not repeat the information originally provided in the Initial State Parties Report, but instead should provide information on the measures that have been adopted to follow-up on the conclusions and recommendations made by the Committee during the examination of the Initial State Parties Report. The State Parties Reports should also provide information on any significant developments (either positive or negative) since the consideration of the Initial States Parties Report.<\/p><p>The State Parties Reports are submitted to the Committee.

Afterwards, the committee meets in a private session to discuss the outcome of the State Party\u2019s responses and prepare concluding observations and recommendations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa6cb28 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa6cb28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>3.5 Concluding Observations explained<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed9aa4b elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-aspect-ratio-169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"ed9aa4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;vimeo&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;169&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-fit-aspect-ratio elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<iframe class=\"elementor-video-iframe\" allowfullscreen title=\"vimeo vide\u00f3 lej\u00e1tsz\u00f3\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/389798108?color&amp;autopause=0&amp;loop=0&amp;muted=0&amp;title=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;byline=0#t=\"><\/iframe>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf212fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf212fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Following the Constructive Dialogue, the Committee issues its Concluding Observations, which highlight critical issues of concern and make recommendations for follow-up actions.<\/p><p>The Concluding Observations identify the positive aspects, the factors, and the difficulties impeding the implementation of the UN CRPD, alongside the principal subjects of concern and concrete suggestions and recommendations for future action.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1048508 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1048508\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>3.6 Procedures to follow up on the implementation of UN CRPD Committee\u2019s Concluding Observations <\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ae793f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-aspect-ratio-169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"6ae793f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;vimeo&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;169&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-fit-aspect-ratio elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<iframe class=\"elementor-video-iframe\" allowfullscreen title=\"vimeo vide\u00f3 lej\u00e1tsz\u00f3\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/389799409?color&amp;autopause=0&amp;loop=0&amp;muted=0&amp;title=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;byline=0#t=\"><\/iframe>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d0ea81 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8d0ea81\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>According to Article 36 (4) of the Convention, the Committee has adopted a follow-up procedure whereby it identifies several specific recommendations of concern in its Concluding Observations and requests the State Party to provide additional information on implementation of those concerns, within a period of up to one year.<\/p><p>The Committee may appoint one of its Members to serve as Country Rapporteur to follow-up, who will then submit a follow-up report to the Committee within two months of receiving the information from the State party.

Therefore, civil society, including representative organisations of persons with disabilities \u2013 NADs, should be consulted by the government during the consultation process for the drafting of the State Party Report. NADs can, and should, use this opportunity to provide inputs from the deaf perspective to the State Party Report.<\/p><p><strong>\u2028HOW ?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u2028In some countries, the State Party may have an open consultation process whereby anyone who is interested may submit information or comment on the draft report. NADs should engage with the State Party during the preparation of the State Party Report in order to submit information and research, identify areas of concern, and make recommendations for future action. It is therefore advisable to contact the government to see if and when such consultation takes place.<\/p><p><strong>WHEN ?<\/strong><\/p><p>In the case where your association is not consulted or no public consultation has been conducted, it is always possible to have a say in the State Party Report by contacting the focal point within the meaning of Article 33 of the Convention, before or after the State Party submits its State Party Report. <br \/>\u2028Please note that since the Convention does not designate focal points to leave room to maneuver and respect the specificities of each government organisation, it may be that there are several focal points, including one from each ministry, or a single focal point, at the Ministry of Justice, for example.<\/p><p>NADs need to keep track of how and when States Parties are preparing and submitting the State Party reports. The State Party has to submit the Initial Report two years after the entry into force of the CRPD. After that, the State party must submit a State Party Report every four years. You may find information about your country through the UN Treaty Body Database.<\/p><p><strong>Accessibility of the procedure<\/strong><\/p><p>As a corollary to the effective involvement and participation of civil society (Article 33.3) in the monitoring procedure, it must be accessible to people with disabilities. Article 4.3 of the Convention also states that States parties must closely consult and actively involve persons with disabilities. Although the Articles do not indicate how participation should take place in practice, it is generally accepted that participation of people with disabilities must be meaningful to the process, both with States Parties and focal points, by meeting accessibility needs. <br \/>\u2028For the deaf people, it is the provision of sign language and written information sharing whether it is interviews during meetings, UN CRPD training sessions or interviews conducted as part of the follow-up of the monitoring procedure. The accessibility of the monitoring procedure also depends on the funds allocated by governments for the provision of professional interpreters. In cases where there are no professional interpreters, governments should allocate the necessary resources to establish sign language interpretation training in collaboration with NADs. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-947fb84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"947fb84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.3.2 Influencing the reports of national monitoring frameworks<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a66b80 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-aspect-ratio-169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"2a66b80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;vimeo&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;169&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-fit-aspect-ratio elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<iframe class=\"elementor-video-iframe\" allowfullscreen title=\"vimeo vide\u00f3 lej\u00e1tsz\u00f3\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/389806783?color&amp;autopause=0&amp;loop=0&amp;muted=0&amp;title=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;byline=0#t=\"><\/iframe>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afaae6b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"afaae6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The UN CRPD requires that each State Party establish a framework to promote, protect and monitor the Convention.

This may be done by conducting research, developing indicators and benchmarks, or collecting information on human rights violations. Reports are generally submitted to governmental bodies. The national monitoring framework may choose to submit its own report to the UN CRPD Committee on the implementation of the UN CRPD at the national level.<\/p><p>DPOs, including NADs, should encourage the framework to submit a report and to hold a consultation on the implementation of the UN CRPD and should actively participate in any consultation process.<\/p><p>NADs are strongly encouraged to actively participate in consultations with the national monitoring framework and NHRIs.

Moreover, this continues even once the State Party has finalised the State Party Report and sent to the UN CRPD Committee.<\/p><p>There is an opportunity for DPOs to draft an Alternative Report. This opportunity is demonstrated by the preparation of a Report that will provide the UN CRPD Committee with a better understanding of the problems that have arisen in the implementation of the UN CRPD at the national level. This so-called Alternative Report is different from the State Party&#8217;s Report because the Report is no longer prepared by the State Party itself but by either a coalition of CSOs or by an DPO. This provides a clear legitimacy to highlight disability issues concretely and to address sensitive issues.<br \/>\u2028<\/p><p><strong>Alternative Report<\/strong><\/p><p>the Alternative Report is carried out by an organisation within the State Party to highlight the latter\u2019s shortcomings and to focus on a particular situation. It is a way of informing the UN CRPD Committee of the progress of implementation at the national level through analysis of national legislation, providing complementary information and concerns of the persons with disabilities and that includes your NAD\u2019s perspective, to ensure that the Committee has all the information at its disposal for the Constructive Dialogue.<\/p><p>Not only does the preparation of the Alternative Report raise issues to the UN CRPD Committee responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Convention, it further helps to establish and strengthen the national coalition of different DPOs (where appropriate) by working closely together to provide the Alternative Report with inputs from experts in the disability field supplied by coalition members. This can lead to dialogue with government officials on areas for improvement.<br \/>\u2028At the level of your NAD, it is possible to either work with the coalition on the Alternative Report or to proceed with the elaboration of the Alternative Report alone.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>When should you provide Input to an Alternative Report drafted by National Disability Council &amp; who is the contact point?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u2028Often, National Disability Councils lead the process of drafting an Alternative Report. \u2028Even if it is possible to submit the Alternative Report before the submission of the State Party Report, it is suggested to send it after the submission of the State Party Report so that the Committee may comment on the State Party Report if needed. In this way, observations and recommendations can be as complete as possible. In any case, it is recommended that such information is transmitted at least two months prior to the relevant sessions of the Committee.<br \/>\u2028The NADs must be consulted and provide their input to the National Disability Council for the Alternative Report, if the National Disability Council is drafting one. If you have not yet received an invitation to participate in the drafting of the Alternative Report, do not hesitate to contact the National Disability Council to see whether or not such a project is in the pipeline. At the same time, these contacts make it possible to forge cooperation links that would be beneficial for the future.<\/p><p>It is possible that the civil society coalition may have been established for the drafting of the Alternative Report. A Coalition can be made up of various organizations working with people with disabilities who pool their expertise to achieve common goal, in this case in the drafting of the Alternative Report. It is important to keep in mind that the Coalition must unequivocally agree on values, missions and objectives and develop a common strategy such as task allocation, milestone setting and deadlines before embarking on writing. NADs can become part of such coalition and provide it with their expertise regarding the matter important for the deaf community.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Drafting an Alternative Report<\/strong><\/p><p>\u2028If your NAD wishes, it is possible to prepare your own Alternative Report. <br \/>\u2028It is important that the Alternative Report should not repeat the information contained in the State Party Report but complement it by underlining obstacles, priorities and highlighting specific, objective information on the concrete implementation of the UN CRPD as well as realistic recommendations. It is also possible to read the reporting guidance document for further information.<\/p><p><em>Methodology :<\/em><\/p><p>\u2028Although there are no requirements for structuring the Alternative Report, it is advisable to adopt a methodological approach so that the Committee has a clearer understanding of the situation of people with disabilities and the solutions that emerge.

Namely, a maximum of 5350 words for Alternative Reports. This Alternative Report should include an introduction to the organisation, a brief description of its activities and missions and the role that people with disabilities play in the organisation as well as their rate of inclusion and participation in the drafting process.<br \/>\u2028Please note that the information contained in the Alternative Report must be clear and precise, such as the specific rights, listed obligations and recommendations. If the recommendations are vague, this may be unclear for the State Party regarding implementation or lead to ineffective implementation.<br \/>\u2028The report should be sent to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, secretariat of the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, at <a href=\"mailto:crpd@ohchr.org\">crpd@ohchr.org<\/a>.<\/p><p>If you require assistance during the drafting an Alternative Report, please get in touch with EUD\u2019s policy team.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e2f67d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3e2f67d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.3.4 Input to the List of Issues (LoI)\u2028<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f04d59 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-aspect-ratio-169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"9f04d59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;vimeo&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;169&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-fit-aspect-ratio elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<iframe class=\"elementor-video-iframe\" allowfullscreen title=\"vimeo vide\u00f3 lej\u00e1tsz\u00f3\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/389813144?color&amp;autopause=0&amp;loop=0&amp;muted=0&amp;title=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;byline=0#t=\"><\/iframe>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e87368 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3e87368\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The List of Issues is a list of questions created by the UN CRPD Committee to receive more information or to clarify the State Party Report provided by the Member State.
