Notes: NA stands for not available. CRPD stands for the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; GNI is the Gross National Income per capita in constant 2017 purchasing power parity (PPP) terms; HDI stands for the Human Development Index.
If the CRPD is not ratified by the country, the table indicates if it has been signed or if no action has been taken.
Notes: NA stands for not available. CRPD stands for the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; GNI is the Gross National Income per capita in constant 2017 purchasing power parity (PPP) terms; HDI stands for the Human Development Index.
If the CRPD is not ratified by the country, the table indicates if it has been signed or if no action has been taken.
The key for constitutional guarantees is as follows: No = no specific provisions for the equality of persons with disabilities; Yes = the equality of persons with disabilities is guaranteed.
