Each UNESCAP sponsored participant is kindly requested to prepare a brief
review paper of a maximum of 4-5 pages (double spaced) on the subject below, and submit it
(preferably in electronic format) to the UNESCAP Secretariat (nagata @ un.org) before

the Seminar they will be uploaded on the web site created for this Workshop prior to the
opening and the hard copies will be distributed on the first day of the Workshop as
valuable resources for the Workshop discussion. Self-financed participants are not
mandated to submit the paper, but they are encouraged to do so.
Your review paper should cover the following components,
- General overview of disability-specific legislation in your country /region;

We may utilize, upon approval by the author, some of the relevant information for
UNESCAP future publications on regional trends. Your contribution through this paper is
highly appreciated.
