Disability, Law and the Internet

Connecting the world through the internet implies the expectation of accessibility, which is essential to the inclusion and empowerment of over one billion people with disabilities worldwide. How that happens relies on different frameworks, with a key moment in implementation, and a focus on the actors in charge. Where does that responsibility lie at the international and national levels? Where should it lie? While focused on the legal aspects of ensuring accessibility on the internet, the conversation around disability can benefit from interventions outside of legal avenues as well. In light of this, our panelists will also discuss the perspective of accommodations in contrast to approaches inspired by universal design principles
