The UN Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS), adopted by the Secretary General in 2019, provides the foundation for sustainable and transformative progress on disability inclusion through all pillars of the work of the United Nations: peace and security, human rights, and development.

The Strategy enables the UN system to support the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and other international human rights instruments, as well as the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, the Agenda for Humanity and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

Following the Human Rights Council’s resolution 49/12, UN Human Rights now reports on its performance under the UNDIS to the Human Rights Council. Building on the fourth report, our Office worked to improve its performance under the UNDIS entity-based accountability framework. As reported in 2024, UN Human Rights made progress on two out of the 15 applicable indicators:

• #10 Evaluation from meeting to exceeding requirements.
• #11 Country Programmes Documents from missing to approaching requirements.

UN Human Rights maintained all other ratings as per previous reporting. For more information on OHCHR’s 2024 reporting: PDF form - Easy to read version in English (Word).

We remain committed to the rights of persons with disabilities. The UN Human Rights Disability Rights Strategy and Annual Action Plans support the delivery of UNDIS objectives and associated performance indicators.
