(*1) About the Act for Eliminating Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was adopted in 2006 and took effect in 2008. It requires signatories to take appropriate measures to prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability. In Japan, the Act for Eliminating Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (the Act for Eliminating Discrimination), which is intended as a means to realize the provisions was enacted in June 2013 and took effect in April 2016 for the purpose of promoting the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of disability in order to realize a society where no citizens are treated differently on the basis of whether or not they have disability and where all citizens can coexist with mutual respect for one another's personalities and individuality.
The Act was amended in May 2021 (Act No. 56 of 2021). The effective date of the revisions will be a day specified by the Cabinet Order within a period not exceeding three years from the date of promulgation (June 4, 2021).
