In the aftermath of the 2011 conflict, the General National Congress has also adopted new legislation addressing the rights of persons with disabilities. 42. Iraq: A consultation with representatives of persons with disabilities took place in order to discuss necessary amendments to the law on persons with disabilities to bring it in line with the Convention. Human rights officers have undertaken extensive work with the Government of Iraq in partnership with Iraqi organizations of persons with disabilities, civil society organizations and international partners, ensuring ratification of the Convention was part of a National Action Plan adopted by the Government in December 2011 with a view to implementing the recommendations of the universal periodic review conducted in February 2010. As a result of these efforts, Iraq ratified the Convention on 20 March 2013. The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq, the Human Rights Parliamentary Committee and the Iraqi Alliance for Disability Organizations have jointly proposed a series of legislative amendments to the Government, particularly in relation to the requirement for an independent mechanism to oversee and monitor its implementation, with a view to aligning Iraqi legislation with the Convention. 43. Occupied Palestinian territories: OHCHR has worked closely with the Government of the State of Palestine to produce the Guidance Document on Integrating Human Rights in Palestinian Development Plans, which outlines concrete targets and interventions to be integrated into the Palestinian National Development Plan, the overarching national development framework. This document identifies actions to ensure the rights of persons with disabilities, including the right to education, social security, and work. The Office will work closely with the Government, the NHRI, and NGOs and civil society organizations in monitoring implementation of the National Development Plan from a human rights-based viewpoint, including rights of persons with disabilities as an integral part of this monitoring. The first ever United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for Palestine was also finalized, and the Office played an active role in ensuring that the rights-based approach was central to United Nations development assistance plans. Planned United Nations programmes for persons with disabilities are featured in the Framework. 44. Tunisia: OHCHR is promoting the adoption of legislation and policies in compliance with international human rights standards in the area of employment for persons with disabilities.
