| Abstract | ||||
| For decades, the United Nations has worked to protect the rights of persons with disabilities, thanks to its unremitting efforts; where the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was concluded in 2006. The Convention guarantees many rights of this vulnerable group. The main purpose of concluding the Convention is to promote, protect and ensure that all persons with disabilities fully and equally enjoy all human rights and fundamental freedoms, and promote respect for their dignity. The Convention provides for the establishment of a Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, to which individuals can submit communications against countries that have violated their rights under the provisions of the Convention as a guarantee to ensure respect for their rights. The Optional Protocol to the Convention and the Committee’s rules of procedure has established certain mechanisms for considering communications before the Committee. There are certain conditions for accepting communications before the Committee, including those relating to the author of the communication, and others conditions relating to the State against which the communication is directed, some conditions relate to the communication itself. In addition, there is a specific mechanism for dealing with communications before the Committee, such as the procedures for examining the communications, the committee’s decisions related to the subject of communications, and follow up on implementing the committee's decisions | ||||
