Dear all,
In case, it has not been announced in this list,
Site for the Special Rapporteur for
Standard Rules on the Equalization of Opportunities
for Persons with Disabilities is as follows;
http://www.disability-rapporteur.org/index.htm
Mr. Lindqvist's term of office is to expire at the
end of next year and IF the current monitoring scheme
continues, i.e., Special Rapporteur and the panel of experts,
there will be new rapporteur.
I guess it will be quite difficult to search for someone with
his experience and background, including the movement.
Well, things have to come to an end,
we cannot continue to rely on an individual.
The Swedish initiative of 1989, thanks to Mr. Lindqvist to a
large extent, is still alive in the form of the Standard
Rules and we just have to see when the next
step of a convention is to come.
