Recommendations: In light of the findings of the study and the legal, ethical and humanitarian responsibility of the duty-bearers, the employers at the three job sectors should be bound to ensure good and healthy work environment for PWDs. They should ensure protection for them from discrimination and harassment. They should also ensure for them equal wage and equitable opportunity-based fair entitlements. I. Laws and Legislations for the Palestinian Legislator and Decision-Maker: 1. Drafting, developing and amending national laws and legislations, particularly Law Number (4) of 1999 concerning the Rights of the Disabled, Labor Law No. (7) of 2000, Civil Service Law No. (4) of 1998 and its regulations. Any legal provisions discriminating against the persons with disability should be abolished. 2. Amendment of the Civil Service Law to include employment of all PWDs regardless of the cause of disability without giving priority to those whose disability is caused by Israeli occupation forces. It should cover all types of disabilities with more emphasis on congenital ones, which are the main cause of disability in the Palestinian territory. All relevant legislations should be seen as one package and contradiction between the Civil Service Law and its regulation, which relates to employing a percentage of PWDs, should be eliminated. Also, the provision regarding physical soundness and the condition that the applicant should be free from any impairment should be eliminated. 3. International human rights standards and regional conventions should be taken into consideration upon drafting relevant legislations and laws. Additionally, the rights of PWDs should be emphasized and recognized as being inclusive in the development process. This vision should be the guideline of the state in reviewing and amending relevant legislations to ensure their compliance with international human rights standards, particularly the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability. 11
