Watch EUD Executive Director Mark Wheatley sign about the 7th session of the UNCRPD Committee in Geneva, Switzerland. Both Mark Wheatley and EUD Policy Officer Annika Pabsch are currently attending the session in Geneva as representatives of both the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) and EUD.
EUD are observing the session in order to be able to better understand the reporting process to ensure the Convention is implemented at European level. This session focussed on Peru and EUD was able to follow questions and presentations by the Committee and State representatives. EUD also attended many meetings on accessibility and workshops organised by IDA, the International Disability Alliance.
