The National Council for Human Rights (CNDH) wishes to break with the guardianship system and set up a system of assistance for the benefit of people with disabilities, said its president Amina Bouayach at a conference, held remotely on Thursday.
During this meeting held by the CNDH under the theme “People with Disabilities and the Scope of Legal Personality,” Bouayach underlined the Council’s will to develop an ambitious program to break with the system of guardianship and establish a system of assistance dedicated to people with disabilities, according to a press release from the Council.
This conference provides the CNDH and the national mechanism for the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities with a basis to present recommendations to ensure the legal personality of persons with disabilities, she said.
According to Bouayach, it is also a platform and a space to discuss issues related to the non-application of full legal capacity, whether in terms of national legislation, comparative or international standards.
Emphasizing the importance of this issue, she recalled that the Constitution emphasized the principle of equality between persons with disabilities in all aspects of life, particularly in article 34 which states that the public authorities shall develop and implement policies for persons and categories with special needs.
