Dr Clíona de Bhailís @ClionadeBhailis

本日から金曜日まで、アイルランドで開催される国際障害法セミナー　#13IDSS に参加。 時差あるけど、日本時間の18時に始まって日付変わる前に終わる。ラクな方。 「世界の人権関連の話＝悲しい・悲惨」と学習してしまった猫の咲(6)灯(4)は、まず逃げ去り、大丈夫そうだと認識して少し聴講したり。 pic.twitter.com/REmdYpsIMV

This week, I attend the international disability law school #13IDSS in Ireland from my home in Tokyo. My 2 kittens fears something sad or traumatic because they learned international human rights are related to threats or wars. But Akari found it seems to be safe. pic.twitter.com/5QFQmq6kGL

As always, I learned so much from @DegenerTheresia presenting on the legal framework under the CRPD & health. Raised the shocking disparities in COVID-related deaths of PWDs living in institutions compared to the majority community, & discriminatory medical triage #13IDSS #CDLP

@DegenerTheresia spoke about COVID: lack of accessible information being available to PWDs, (especially in the early stages) regarding risk mitigation, and overall Gov't emergency response policies. Also lack of availability of clear masks for people who lip read #13IDSS #CDLP

Keelin Barry @BarryKeelin

@DegenerTheresia @DegenerTheresia also highlighted the current CDLP @ResponceProject study on the impact of COVID-19 on persons with disabilities in 7 countries. Please visit @ResponceProject to take part in the research of how COVID 19 impacts PWDs by doing an online survey #13IDSS #CDLP

Keelin Barry @BarryKeelin

Discussion: Yolanda Muñoz gave e.g impact of large sand removal in making water collection impossible for some PWDs.@DegenerTheresia gave e.g on good practice data collection: ensure all National Data Collection Bodies have disability disaggregated data in all processes #13IDSS

Keelin Barry @BarryKeelin

@DegenerTheresia highlighted the importance of refugees with disabilities being housed in the community in accessible accommodation-not in institutions. E.g of good practice for Ukrainian refugees: system-wide lists of accessible accommodation options available #13IDSS #CDLP

The Chronic Campaigner @chroniccampaign

Climate action very often neglects or forgets disabled people. A key example, as Nadia Hadad states, was the eradication of #PlasticStraws which caused unintended harm to the #DisabledCommunity as many #DisabledPeople rely on plastic straws #13IDSS #DisabilityTwitter #NEISvoid

Centre for Disability Law and Policy @CDLPGalway

We are back for the afternoon session - strategies for change - litigation, activism and human rights monitoring. Chairing this afternoon of #13IDSS is @Mary_C_Keogh from @CBM_Global

@Mary_C_Keogh @CBM_Global The first #13IDSS speaker is Nadia Hadad from @EDFaccess on making plans for climate action inclusive of disabled people

The Chronic Campaigner @chroniccampaign

Important discussion from @janetelord on how the CRPD can be used to ensure disability is integrated into International Human Rights Law. It's fundamental for all #DisabledPeople to be included in action on human rights law and for it to have an intersectional lense #13IDSS

Dr. Aine Sperrin @NicsDon

In panel 2, @janetelord highlighted the inclusion of prohibition of torture and medical experimentation in ICCPR as a response to violence against disabled people during WWII #13IDSS #Disabilityrights #Art11UNCRPD

Our final speaker for the first day of #13IDSS is @halberto1980 who is talking about using the CRPD to respond to health crises

Dr. Aine Sperrin @NicsDon

We are back with our final speaker of Day 1 at #13IDSS - @halberto1980. Alberto is outlining the role of periodic reviews to hold states to account for #disabilityrights during #healthcrises #Art11UNCRPD

Dr. Aine Sperrin @NicsDon

Alberto Vasquez highlights how the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has considered pandemic impacts in their examination of states between 2021-2022. Specific focus on institutions & participation #13IDSS

Keelin Barry @BarryKeelin

Panel 2: Strategies for change, litigation, activism, human rights monitoring. Great presentation on Climate by Nadia Hadad, from the EDF, discussing strengthening the 'Green New Deal' with an equal 'Social Climate Fund' (SCF) that targets the inclusion of PWDs. #13IDSS

The Chronic Campaigner @chroniccampaign

Nadia Hadad when asked how we define disabled people getting a seat at the table: "meaningful participation should be from the beginning" "if they participate they should bring expertise on disability and the impact of climate change initiatives" #13IDSS #DisabilityRights

Keelin Barry @BarryKeelin

@janetelord gives a fascinating presentation on IHL (& IHRL & ICL) and the need to reconcile and adapt to engage and systematically include the protection of PWDs using Article 11 CRPD. PWDs can face additional, multiple and intersecting heightened risks during conflict #13IDSS

Keelin Barry @BarryKeelin

Alberto Vásquez, Disability Rights Advocate & Lawyer from Peru discusses how to respond to a health crisis: UN Human Rights Mechanisms. Discusses using the special procedures and the 45 Independent Thematic Experts and 30 Country Mandate experts for direct advocacy #13IDSS #CDLP

Dr. Aine Sperrin @NicsDon

Day one of #13IDSS has set us up very well for the week in considering #disabilityrights in times of crises. Moot court teams are enjoying teasing out their arguments for our fictional Republic of Future who is grappling with climate change events.
