The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) is hosting a workshop today in Maputo to publicise the national and independent mechanism aimed at promoting, protecting, and monitoring the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
This initiative seeks to enhance the safeguarding of the rights of individuals with disabilities by disseminating the instrument related to the legal framework that promotes and respects the fundamental rights and freedoms of this social group. It also aims to develop strategies for operationalising this mandate across the country.
According to a press release obtained by Noticias, the CNDH was appointed by the Council of Ministers in February to fulfil the role of the National and Independent Mechanism for the Promotion, Protection, and Monitoring of the Implementation of the Convention and the legal framework concerning the Protection and Respect of the Rights and Freedoms of Persons with Disabilities.
This appointment aligns with Article 33 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which mandates member states to designate a mechanism to promote, protect, and monitor the implementation of the Convention domestically.
