National Laws and Information
Governments, disability activists, academics and others often
request information about what countries are doing to promote the
rights and welfare of disabled persons. To meet these frequent
requests the AbilityAP programme has organized a database of
relevant laws, policies and information about the implementation of
these laws and policies and compiled them in these Web pages.
Primary emphasis is placed on countries within the ILO AbilityAP
region.
In
this section you will find many laws and policies that deal exclusively
with disability issues. You also will find general labour, social
security and related legal documents and policies that have disability
provisions embedded within them. Both types are organized on a
country-by-country basis. Whenever possible the database also includes
information and reports that describe how laws and policies are
implemented. Links are provided to additional information sources in
each country, where they are available.
Finally, in some cases the text of the law or policy can be found
directly on this Web site. More often, however, a link has been
established to a government or related Web site. These linkages are more
likely to ensure that the most current law or information is available.
