Resumen: The Principles and Guidelines will be of benefit to judicial actors, national human rights institutions and civil society, including organizations of persons with disabilities, to strengthen awareness-raising activities, training and the provision of accommodations to ensure respect for the rights of persons with disabilities and their enhanced representation and participation within proceedings. In addition, they provide a framework for the inclusion and participation of persons with disabilities in diverse roles within the administration of justice (e.g. judge, juror and witness) as a democratic imperative involving and reflecting all facets of society – in effect, shaping the society in which we live. The Principles and Guidelines are an indispensable contribution to achieving justice for all.
