In the session on Conflict-Related Disabilities and Access to Justice, panelists are examining the structural, procedural, and attitudinal barriers faced by persons with disabilities. The discussion also highlights the harmful stereotypes and discrimination that continue to exclude them—particularly women with disabilities—from access to and meaningful participation in transitional justice processes.

📌 The @ICJ_Asia, together with @EarthRightsIntl, the International Human Rights Program at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law (@IHRP_UofT), and a community member from Kyauk Phyu Township, filed a complaint with Canada’s National Contact Point concerning the role of Canadian company Hatch Associates Ltd. in a major infrastructure project in Rakhine State, #Myanmar. The complaint raises concerns regarding the environmental impact assessment process for the project in a conflict zone, including the absence of meaningful consultation with affected communities amid ongoing armed conflict and widespread human rights violations. 🔗 Learn more: icj.org/consultations-in-a-w…
