EDF-IDDC Input for the List of Issues Prior to Reporting for the second review of the EU by the CRPD Committee

In March 2022, the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will start the second review of the European Union. It will examine how the EU implemented the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, since it was evaluated for the first time in 2015.

The review starts with the adoption of a document called a “List of issues prior to reporting” that will ask questions on how the EU implemented each article to the Convention.

Together with the European Disability Forum, IDDC submitted Input for the List of Issues Prior to Reporting for the second review of the EU by the CRPD Committee. This joint submission together focuses on the EU’s implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in its external action beyond Europe.
