Opinions on the first National Report of Korea on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Article 22 prescribes inspection of accessible facilities on their compliance with detailed criteria. However, laws subordinate to the Convenience Enhancement Act do not include specific standards to enforce such inspections set forth in Article 22. 2) Recommendation ① Accessibility to facilities is an essential prerequisite for persons with disabilities to lead an ordinary life and participate in social activities on an equal basis with persons without disabilities. Therefore, the government should devise measures to assure persons with disabilities accessibility to even small-scale facilities (300m2 or less) and workplaces with a small number of employees (30 full-timers or fewer) in the long term. To that end, it is necessary to revise the Anti-Discrimination Act against Persons with Disabilities. The enforcement decree of the Convenience Enhancement Act and the enforcement decree of the Movement Convenience Enhancement Act also need amendments in order to keep the detailed criteria of accessible facilities up to date. ② For the continuous and periodic inspection and improvement of organizations which are obliged to install accessible facilities, detailed rules should be included in subordinating laws to the Convenience Enhancement Act in order to enforce the guidance and supervision on the installation and operation of accessible facilities for persons with disabilities set forth in Article 10 and the installation of accessible facilities and the inspection of their compliance with specific criteria as prescribed in Article 22 of the Act. 6.
