Guidelines for preparation of a Country Paper
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 1 May 2006. Though only selected participants may be able
to present the papers during the Workshop 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,
- Participation of DPOs and NGOs in the process towards the Convention
and at AHC sessions (e.g. representation of persons with disabilities and
DPOs/NGOs in a national delegation team, national negotiations and
dialogue prior to each AHC session, etc.);
- Establishment of an effective monitoring mechanism at the national
level (e.g. revitalization of national human rights commission,
establishment of equal opportunity commission, the role of national
coordination mechanism, etc.);
- Towards development of an anti-discrimination law in countries of the
ESCAP region (some good practices in the ESCAP region);
- Disability inclusive international and regional cooperation (Twin
track approach, disability integrated technical cooperation, disability
impact assessment, etc.);
- Towards ratification of the Convention.
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. Return to top |
