Description
Am 26. Oktober 2008 ist in Österreich die UN-Konvention über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderungen in Kraft getreten. Zur Umsetzung dieser Konvention hat das Sozialministerium in Zusammenarbeit mit allen anderen Bundesministerien den Nationalen Aktionsplan Behinderung 2010-2020 (NAP Behinderung) erstellt. Erstmals nach dem Behindertenkonzept der Österreichischen Bundesregierung vom Dezember 1992, das mittlerweile in vielen Bereichen umgesetzt worden ist, liegt mit dem NAP nunmehr wieder eine umfassende Strategie der österreichischen Behindertenpolitik auf Bundesebene vor.The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities came into force in Austria on 26 October 2008.
