»Deutschlands Politik im Umgang mit Menschen mit Behinderung ist nicht mit der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention vereinbar«

The Committee is concerned about:

The lack of recognition, across all government portfolio areas, that disability is a responsibility of all government entities, and the lack of mainstreaming of disability-inclusive measures in all areas of state, society and law;

The lack of a systematic review of existing laws, policies and regulations to ascertain the legislative action required to conform with the obligations under the Convention;

The lack of a general right of associations to take legal action to enforce the rights under the Convention, the rare use of such rights in the areas where the required statutory bases exist, and – in most of these statutory bases – the confinement of remedies available to declaratory judgments;

The lack of systematic and institutionalized engagement with organizations of persons with disabilities, including organizations of children with disabilities, in all matters affecting them, and of processes for close consultation with and the active involvement of organizations of persons with disabilities;

Insufficient resources of organizations of persons with disabilities to actively participate in the development and the implementation of laws, policies, programs and regulations to implement the Convention, and undue administrative hurdles to access funding;

The highly uneven efforts to implement the Convention across the Länder, and an insufficient human rights perspective in the action plans of many Länder.
