On 8th<\/sup> September 2022, the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities released its new General Comment on the right to work and employment. The aim of the General Comment is to clarify how State Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) should interpret the obligations enshrined in Article 27 of the UN CRPD. The General Comment also considers the interdependence of the measures on the right to work listed in Article 27 UN CRPD, and the interrelationship of the right to work and employment with the other articles of the UN CRPD Convention, for instance those on general obligations. It is important to note that the General Comment does not hold the same legal weight as the Convention itself, but rather it provides an explanation of its legal obligations. Accordingly, the General Comment\u2019s aim is to support State Parties to the UN CRPD in their reporting on the employment of persons with disabilities within their national contexts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
