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.

It noted that Uruguay was willing to agree in principle to all the recommendations that were in line with international standards. II. Conclusions and/or recommendations** 123.
