Following the instructions of Resolution 175, ITU has been engaged in efforts to ensure the accessibility of the organization to persons with disabilities, including, staff, delegates and the general public. Therefore, undertakes to progressively address the barriers that limit the full participation of persons with disabilities in ITU activities and to apply the principle of “universal design” whenever a service is reviewed or introduced in ITU.
Key progress on this domain was the adoption in 2013 of the ITU Accessibility Policy for Persons with Disabilities, endorsed by ITU’s council, and the establishment of the ITU Accessibility Fund.
