The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) continues to be the most important platform for organizations of persons with disabilities in Lebanon, in light of the legislature’s failure to ratify the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006). Although the Lebanese government had approved it in June 2007 and submitted it to parliament at the time as part of a package of draft laws, the political dispute between the poles of power denied persons with disabilities in Lebanon (about 10 percent of the population) and their organizations the monitoring and follow-up mechanisms granted to them by the Convention and its annexed Protocol. Lebanon’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) was completed during the plenary session of the 31st session of the Human Rights Council in March 2016, during which the Council adopted the results of the second review, during which Lebanon received 219 recommendations, 128 of which were accepted and 91 were rejected. As for the recommendations related to disability issues that Lebanon accepted, the most prominent of which has been ongoing since 2010, revolving around the ratification of the International Convention and its accompanying Optional Protocol, and thus the development of a national strategy to implement the contents of this convention. Although eighteen years have passed since the promulgation of Law 220/2000 on the rights of persons with disabilities in Lebanon, the concerned ministries have not taken the initiative to issue its implementing decrees
