Good Practice Guidelines for Accessible Information and Communication Formats
The President of the CNDH, Rosario Piedra Ibarra, called for a redoubling of efforts to provide people with disabilities with information of public interest.
It is the obligation of all State institutions to adopt legislative, administrative and any other kind of measures to make effective the right to information of persons with disabilities, said the President of the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH), Rosario Piedra Ibarra, when she presented the Guide on Good Practices for accessible information and communication formats.
She also expressed that ensuring the full right of access to information for this sector of the population is a pending task in our country, for which reason efforts must be redoubled to comply with the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, in the sense of providing them with information of public interest in any type of written, printed, audio, visual or electronic format.
The Guide offers a compendium of the best practices in this area carried out by public and private institutions in different countries, for which reason the CNDH urges Mexican State agencies to take into account the requirements of accessibility to information for persons with disabilities, through the application of various formats set forth therein.
