About the project:
The Stimson Center project, Iran and America: A Dialogue about Disability, held in partnership with BlueLaw International LLP, the Harvard Law School Project on Disability, and Iranian partner organizations, assembled civil society leaders, academics, and other experts for a US-Iran cross-cultural dialogue on disability law and rights. The Dialogue has afforded a unique, open platform for creative thinking on how to integrate the content of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities into a country’s policy and legal system. Participants met for two sessions over the course of a year, in Istanbul, Turkey. Funding for this project was provided by the United States Institute of Peace. The opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this publication are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the United States Institute of Peace.
