Specific obligations (arts. 31-33)
Statistics and data collection (art. 31)
46.
The Committee regrets the low level of disaggregated data on persons with
disabilities. The Committee recalls that such information is indispensable to: understanding
the situations of specific groups of persons with disabilities in the State party who may be
subject to varying degrees of exclusion, especially indigenous people, women and children
with disabilities and persons who live in rural areas; developing laws, policies and
programmes adapted to their situations; and assessing the implementation of the
Convention.
47.
The Committee recommends that the State party systematize the collection,
analysis and dissemination of data, disaggregated by sex, age and disability; enhance
capacity-building in this regard; and develop gender-sensitive indicators to support
legislative developments, policymaking and institutional strengthening for monitoring
and reporting on progress made with regard to the implementation of the various
provisions of the Convention, taking into consideration the changes from the medical
to the social model.
National implementation and monitoring (art. 33)
48.
The Committee is concerned at the lack of clarity as to the functions and division
of responsibilities of Multi-Sectoral Permanent Commission and CONADIS, as well as the
fact that they are not compliant with the Paris Principles.
49.
The Committee recommends that the State party specifically designate a
national monitoring mechanism that is in conformity with the Paris Principles, and
ensure, as a matter of priority, the full participation in the monitoring process of
persons with disabilities and their representative organizations.
Follow-up to concluding observations and dissemination
50.
The Committee requests the State party to implement the recommendations of the
Committee as contained in the present concluding observations. The Committee
recommends that the State party transmit the concluding observations for consideration and
action to members of the Government and Parliament, officials in the relevant Ministries,
the Judiciary and members of relevant professional groups, such as education, medical and
legal professionals, as well as to local authorities, the private sector, and the media, using
modern social communication strategies.
51.
The Committee requests the State party to disseminate the present concluding
observations widely, including to non-governmental organizations and representative
organizations of persons with disabilities, as well as to persons with disabilities themselves
and members of their families, in accessible formats.
52.
The Committee strongly encourages the State party to involve civil society
organizations, in particular disabled persons’ organizations, in the preparation of its second
periodic report.
53.
The Committee requests the State party to provide, within two years and in
accordance with article 35, paragraph 2 of the Convention, written information on the steps
undertaken to implement the recommendations contained in paragraphs 23, 29 and 35.
Technical cooperation
54.
