Guidelines for preparation of a Country Paper
Each UNESCAP sponsored participant is kindly requested to prepare a brief
review paper of a maximum of 3-4 pages (double spaced) on the subject below,
and submit it (preferably in electronic format) to the UNESCAP Secretariat (nagata
@ un.org) before 10 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:
- The latest status of the process towards an International Convention
on Protecting and Promoting the Rights and Dignity of Persons with
Disability, a report from the
7th session
of the Ad Hoc Committee (held from 16 January to 3 February 2006, at
New York) and for the preparation for the
8th session
of Ad Hoc Committee (to be held from 14 to 25 August 2006)
- The questions about International monitoring proposed by the Chair of
AHC for the forthcoming discussion at the 8th session
- Forward- looking strategies: after the adoption of the Convention in
the Asia-Pacific region
- The alignment effects of the Convention, the
Biwako
Millennium Framework for Action towards an Inclusive, Barrier-free and
Rights-based Society for Persons with Disabilities, the
Standard Rules
on Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities and
domestic disability legislative (e.g. anti-discrimination law)
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 |
