The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) today launched a new report titled “From Exclusion to Equality: Advancing Access to Justice for Persons with Disabilities in Lesotho,” showing that while the Lesotho authorities have made substantial strides towards securing access to justice for persons with disabilities, a great deal more must be done to fulfil their commitments and obligations. The report, which examines the processes behind major legal reforms regarding access to justice for persons with disabilities, recognizes the notable progress made by Lesotho. The report presents a set of recommendations directed at various arms of the Lesotho government in respect of how to ensure compliance with its international obligations in respect of access to justice for persons with disabilities.

The Constitution did not explicitly guarantee access to justice for persons with disabilities, nor list disability as a prohibited ground of discrimination.
