A/HRC/43/41/Add.3 redress in employment discrimination cases and grant compensation for economic loss in specific contexts. 10. Norway does not have a specific law on the rights of persons with disabilities. Several laws contain provisions for persons with disabilities, such as the Education Act, the Child Welfare Act, the Election Act, the Planning and Building Act, the Dispute Act, the General Civil Penal Code and all legislation regarding legal capacity. However, some of them contain provisions that are neither comprehensive nor fully compliant with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, as explained in section C below. B. Institutional and policy frameworks 11. Since May 2019, the Ministry of Culture has been the Government focal point for matters relating to the implementation of the Convention, as provided for in article 33 (1), with coordination responsibility for disability policy and universal design. A coordination mechanism within the Government has yet to be established to enhance the interpretation and implementation of disability-related efforts across ministries and between central, county and municipal authorities. 12. The Equality and Anti-Discrimination Ombud is the designated independent mechanism to monitor the implementation of the Convention, as required in article 33 (2). The Ombud has its own users’ committee for collaboration and exchange of experience with organizations of persons with disabilities, in line with article 33 (3). Furthermore, other independent monitoring mechanisms, such as the Norwegian National Human Rights Institution, the Parliamentary Ombudsman and the Ombudsman for Children contribute to monitoring the impact of State action on persons with disabilities within their respective mandates. 13. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the adoption, in December 2018, of the government strategy for the period 2020–2030 entitled “A society for all” for the inclusion of persons with disabilities, co-signed by nine ministers. The strategy rests on four pillars: (a) universal solutions and specific measures to reduce barriers; (b) enhanced participation and the inclusion of persons with disabilities; (c) better coordination between municipal, county and State services; and (d) a special focus on education, employment, health, culture and leisure. The Special Rapporteur was informed that an action plan for the period 2020– 2025 to implement the strategy would be finalized by the end of 2019, but was not given concrete information about its content. 14. In addition, there are various disability-specific policies and plans, such as the action plan for universal design 2015–2019, the escalation plan for habilitation and rehabilitation 2017–2019 and several ongoing initiatives, white papers and reports to the parliament, including an equality reform to support children and families with complex needs. Many mainstream policies are inclusive of persons with disabilities, including the national inclusion initiative 2018–2021 on employment, the national strategy for housing and support services 2014–2020, the strategy against hate speech 2016–2020, the sexual health strategy 2017–2022, the competence strategy for kindergartens 2018–2022 and the strategy for an age-friendly society. 15. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the commitment to support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development both domestically and internationally. She stresses that efforts to implement the Sustainable Development Goals in national development policies and plans should always consider the rights of persons with disabilities in a cross-cutting manner, in order to leave no one behind and be in line with the Convention. C. Legal and policy issues to be addressed 16. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has yet to be incorporated into domestic law. This means that, unlike other international human rights treaties such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the provisions of the Convention do not take 4
