520 _aThe 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. (From the Foreword). Endorsed by the International Disability Alliance and the International Commission of Jurists. Record #6849
