UN CRPD Committee

This month, on 14^th August 2023 in Geneva, the Committee of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) will review and provide Concluding Observations to the following State Parties to the Convention – Andorra, Austria, Germany, Israel, Malawi, Mauritania, Mongolia, Paraguay. However, as Austria and Germany are the only EU Member States, EUD has provided training ahead of this review to its member organisations – the National Associations of the Deaf (NADs) – in these two countries.

Austria’s Committee review takes place on 22^nd and 23^rd August and Germany’s will be on 29^th and 30^th August. This review provides an opportunity for each delegation to ensure the deaf perspective is included in each review of these State Parties.
