Author(s): Afsaneh Ataee, Dr. Valiollah Noori and Dr. Pourkhaghan
Abstract: Background and Aim: This article seeks to examine the rights of deaf and hard of hearing people in international documents and domestic law of Iran. In this review, the supports in the mentioned documents are discussed and the weaknesses, strengths, objections, and challenges in the laws are analyzed and examined.Lack of access to community facilities will lead to the marginalization of deaf people. Access to community facilities is an important factor that creates equal opportunities and realizes the rights of deaf people. Method: This paper has a comparative approach and uses the descriptive-analytical method to examine the support available in international documents. It also addresses the supports provided for in Iranian domestic laws and regulations, as well as the obstacles to support these individuals.Result: Iran’s accession to the Contract on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the International Covenant on Cultural, Social, Economic and Children’s Rights, is one of the salient points of these protection laws. By implementing Iran’s domestic and international obligations regarding the rights of the deaf, it is concluded that the Comprehensive Law and its executive regulations have been adopted several years before accession to the Contract on the Disability, but they cover most of the concepts of the Contract on Education. Conclusion: According to the Senate and the convention, no significant legal action was taken and the program did not address the deaf directly. The lack of an effective mechanism for laws protecting the rights of persons with disabilities is an institutional and structural obstacle to the realization of the rights of persons with disabilities, especially the deaf.
