Agenda Arc

Curated

Global purpose, Korean purpose, and precursor stages. Reasoning echo is discourse observation — not proof of coordination.

Global purpose

Make accessibility a rights obligation under CRPD Art.9 so disability anti-discrimination law covers the built and digital environment.

Korean purpose

대한민국은 장애인차별금지 및 권리구제 등에 관한 법률(2007년 제정)을 통해 장애인에 대한 차별을 금지하고, 장애인·노인·임산부 등의 편의증진 보장에 관한 법률을 통해 공공시설 및 교통수단의 접근성 기준을 규정하고 있다. 2015년에는 장애인차별금지법 개정을 통해 정당한 편의제공 의무를 강화하였다.

장애인차별금지 및 권리구제 등에 관한 법률 (law.go.kr) — 대한민국은 장애인차별금지 및 권리구제 등에 관한 법률(2007년 제정)을 통해 장애인에 대한 차별을 금지하고, 장애인·노인·임산부 등의 편의증진 보장에 관한 법률을 통해 공공시설 및 교통수단의 접근성 기준을 규정하고 있다. 2015년에는 장애인차별금지법 개정을 통해 정당한 편의제공 의무를 강화하였다.

Reasoning echo

Observed framing link: CRPD Article 9 (Accessibility) → Korea Disability Anti-Discrimination Act & Convenience Promotion Act | accessibility (Article 9.1) → 접근권 (장애인차별금지법 제4조). Not a claim of coordination.
