requested the Secretary-General to report to it in 1995 regarding coordination
endeavours which affect disabled persons, with emphasis on activities of the
other United Nations organizations and bodies that deal with alleged
violations of the legal obligations of States under the International Bill of
Human Rights and United Nations treaties that protect disabled persons.

Rights, by a communication dated 9 February 1995, requested relevant
United Nations organizations and bodies to submit their contributions to the
Centre for Human Rights by 1 May 1995.
