A/HRC/26/7
119. Uruguay was implementing numerous programmes and policies aimed at combating
school dropout.
120. Mr. Scagliola indicated that Uruguay was committed to implementing policies of
equality with regard to the rights of persons with disabilities. It was making progress in
drafting the regulation of a comprehensive law. Progress had also been made in the context
of the new National Plan of Access to Justice and Legal Protection for Persons with
Disabilities.
121. Regarding the possibility of consular voting, Mr. Guerrero indicated that a working
group in the national Parliament was working on that matter. As that would be an electoral
law, it would require a two-thirds majority to be passed.
122. The delegation expressed its hope that its answers had been satisfactory, and that
they had addressed the concerns of States and civil society. It noted that Uruguay was
willing to agree in principle to all the recommendations that were in line with international
standards.
