Implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Optional Protocol thereto: amplified barriers in diverse contexts

The resolution reaffirms the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and stresses that persons with disabilities must fully enjoy all human rights without discrimination, in line with the 2030 Agenda and the pledge to leave no one behind. It highlights that barriers are often amplified in diverse contextssuch as poverty, conflict, humanitarian emergencies, displacement, climate-related crises, institutionalization, and digital divides—requiring stronger, disability-inclusive responses. 

It urges States to remove legal and practical barriers by improving access to justice, ending discriminatory laws and practices (including those limiting legal capacity), preventing violence and abuse, ensuring inclusive education and decent work, expanding accessibility and assistive technologies, and closing digital gaps. It also calls for meaningful participation of persons with disabilities in decision-making, better disability-disaggregated data, stronger international cooperation (including financing like the UN Global Disability Fund), and continued UN system-wide disability inclusion efforts.
