The European Disability Forum is an umbrella organisation of persons with disabilities that defends the interests of over 100 million Europeans with disabilities. We bring together representative organisation of persons with disabilities from across Europe. We are run by persons with disabilities and their families. We are a strong, united voice of persons with disabilities in Europe.
This briefing aims to inform the independent experts of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities about regional key issues and priorities that directly affect persons with disabilities in the countries under review. We encourage the Committee to take these issues into account during its assessment of European States.
During its upcoming 35th session, to be held from 12 to 27 August 2026, the Committee will review the following European countries: Lithuania, and Slovakia for the adoption of Concluding Observations, and Latvia and Romania for the adoption of Lists of Issues.
