Dear all,
In February this year IDDC and Source released the CD-ROM “The Disability
Convention – Making it Work” (please see the first edition online under
http://www.iddc.org.uk/cdrom/index.htm) with about 90 full text electronic
documents about disability in the context of inclusive development. The CD
was quite a success and right now there is the need to add some more
documents to it, as the next Ad Hoc meeting is approaching. We started
working on the second edition of the CD-ROM “The Disability Convention –
Making it Work”. The second edition will be pretty much the same but this
time it aims to have electronic documents for all articles of the draft
convention text.
Therefore I am asking you to submit electronic documents that you would
like to add to this CD-ROM. It would be very important to get electronic
documents for the following articles:
Draft Article 2: GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Draft Article 3: DEFINITIONS
Draft Article 6: STATISTICS AND DATA COLLECTION
Draft Article 7: EQUALITY AND NON-DISCRIMINATION
Draft Article 8: RIGHT TO LIFE
Draft Article 9: EQUAL RECOGNITION AS A PERSON BEFORE THE LAW
Draft Article 10: LIBERTY AND SECURITY OF THE PERSON
Draft Article 11: FREEDOM FROM TORTURE OR CRUEL, INHUMAN OR DEGRADING
TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT
Draft Article 15: LIVING INDEPENDENTLY AND BEING INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY
Draft Article 20: PERSONAL MOBILITY
Draft Article 23: SOCIAL SECURITY AND AN ADEQUATE STANDARD OF LIVING
Draft Article 24: PARTICIPATION IN CULTURAL LIFE, RECREATION, LEISURE AND
SPORT
If you have electronic documents either in Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word
documents, please send them to me. With sending the documents to me you
agree that they are made available on the CD-ROM “The Disability
Convention” which will be launched at the UN Ad-Hoc meeting in the first
two weeks of August 2005. The CD-ROM will be distributed for free and you
will hold all the copyrights for your documents that are published on the
CD-ROM.
The deadline for submission of the documents will be 11 July 2005.
The documents might be officially published documents but also so called
grey literature. They should reflect good practice in the field of
disability and inclusive development.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Stefan Lorenzkowski
