Establishment of a public repository of
Independent Monitoring Frameworks foreseen by the
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) article 33 (2)
The Secretary-General of the United Nations (Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights) presents its compliments to the Permanent Representatives
of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and has the
honour to inform Your Excellencies’ governments about the establishment of a public
repository on Independent Monitoring Frameworks foreseen by the Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities article 33 (2).
In accordance with article 33 (2) of the Convention, States parties are required to
“maintain, strengthen, designate or establish within the State party a framework, including
one or more independent mechanisms, as appropriate to promote, protect and monitor
implementation of the present Convention (…).” Furthermore, the Convention provides for
the participation of civil society, in particular persons with disabilities and their
representative organizations to be involved and participate fully in the monitoring process
(art. 33 (3)).
The Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has adopted guidelines to
facilitate the periodic reporting of States parties on the existence of national independent
monitoring frameworks and mechanisms in their reports on the implementation of the
Convention, including in it guidelines under the simplified reporting procedure. Furthermore,
the Committee’s Rules of Procedure include the Guidelines on independent monitoring
frameworks and their participation in the work of the Committee on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities.
Through constructive dialogues with State parties to the Convention, the Committee
has issued substantive recommendations for giving effect to obligations under article 33 (2)
and 33 (3) of the Convention. States parties as well as independent national human rights
institutions and independent monitoring frameworks have also asked for practical guidance
on the establishment of independent monitoring frameworks adhering to the Convention. To
respond to requests to facilitate access to information on current practices in States Parties to
the Convention,1 the Committee will establish in the first part of 2022 a public repository of

existing independent monitoring frameworks and mechanisms, which will be hosted on its
website.
For this purpose, the Committee has prepared a survey to collect information from
States parties to the Convention on their national independent monitoring frameworks
including when they have more than one such mechanisms. Information received from the
survey will be used to populate the public repository with the most accurate and up-to-date
information. The link to access the survey is available at: http://ohchr-
survey.unog.ch/index.php/333959?lang=en
The Committee would be grateful to receive the answers to the survey by 10
February 2022.
For technical matters relating to the survey, please contact the OHCHR Treaty Body
Capacity Building Programme at

The Secretary-General of the United Nations (Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights) avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Permanent
Representatives of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
the assurances of its highest consideration.
