Human Rights Watch welcomes the opportunity to provide input to the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities' ("the Committee") for its Day of General Discussion on the right to education for persons with disabilities. Human Rights Watch strongly supports the Committee's interest in further examining article 24 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ("the Convention") on the right to education for persons with disabilities.[1]
This submission is based on Human Rights Watch's research on China, [2] India,[3] Nepal,[4] Russia,[5] and Zambia,[6] among other countries, as well as our ongoing monitoring of the right to education for persons with disabilities. It builds on Human Rights Watch's submission to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on the 2013 thematic study on the right to education for persons with disabilities.[7]
