The Stimson Center project, Iran and America: A Dialogue about
Disability, held in partnership with BlueLaw International LLP, the
Harvard Law School Project on Disability, and Iranian partner organizations,
assembled civil society leaders, academics, and other experts for a US-Iran cross-cultural
dialogue on disability law and rights. The Dialogue
has afforded a unique, open platform for creative thinking on how to integrate
the content of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities into a
country’s policy and legal system. Participants met for two sessions over the
course of a year, in Istanbul, Turkey.
