Eva Nachtschatt presented research from a 2014-2016 project that observed the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) in legislative processes in Austria, Germany, New Zealand, and Australia. The research examined legislative reforms regarding guardianship law in Austria and participation law in Germany. It also analyzed representation approaches in New Zealand and the work of the Cross-Disability Alliance in Australia. The study found a lack of direct application of UNCRPD, different levels of representation across disability types, and a lack of awareness among politicians and the public about participation and disability rights.
