this evaluation is only suitable for local governments. Additionally, the multiplicity of performance indicators make it difficult to observe the effects of oversight. These make it impossible to ensure newly enacted/amended laws and administrative measures of government agencies adhere to CRPD standards. Furthermore, upon inquiry7, as of the end of March 2021, 10 laws incompatible with CRPD standards remain on the books while 18 administrative measures have yet to be completely enacted, amended, or repealed for lack of adherence to Article 10 of the Act to Implement the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (hereinafter referred to as the CRPD Implementation Act), and improvements to administrative measures have yet to be made. The NHRC is concerned that the government did not complete all the amendments by the legal deadline of December 3, 2017, with 6 laws still depriving persons with disabilities of the right to work and other substantive rights and interests. Even the competent authority of the CRPD, the MOHW, has two laws which have not been amended, the Genetic Health Act and the MHA, which have been identified as failing to conform to the CRPD. 23. The Prison Act and the Detention Act were amended in 2019, and now state clearly that corrective agencies cannot discriminate against prisoners or defendants due to their disabilities. Correctional institutions should guarantee the rights of prisoners and defendants with disabilities by making reasonable accommodation to the appropriate laws and measures. They should also take into account the nature of detention, the condition of existing facilities, and the special needs of persons with disabilities, and provide accessible assistive services such as sight, sound and speech assistance. Thus, to guarantee that persons with disabilities are able to enjoy and exercise all human rights and fundamental freedoms based on being equal to others, the NHRC will continue to monitor how various correctional institutions adopt and implement accessibility and the reasonable accommodation of laws and measures related to prisons and detention centers. 24. The NHRC notes that the government has not yet heeded points 22b) and 23b) of the Concluding Observations of the ROC’s Initial Report, which call for amending 7 According to the MOHW’s progress review meeting record and appendices of March 29, 2021 related to amending CRPD legal and administrative measures. 18
