ACHRS further emphasizes that inclusive humanitarian assistance is not only a policy objective, but a legal obligation under international human rights law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">While the Amman Center for Human Rights Studies (ACHRS) primarily focuses its advocacy and research within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the observations and recommendations articulated in this submission are intended to address global humanitarian reform processes and are applicable across diverse international contexts <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>I. General Observations\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACHRS notes that humanitarian crises, whether arising from armed conflict, climate change, natural disasters, or public health emergencies, continue to disproportionately affect individuals in situations of vulnerability. These include, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inter alia<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, persons with disabilities, women and girls, older persons, refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and marginalized communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS emphasizes that pre-existing inequalities are often exacerbated during crises, resulting in increased barriers to accessing essential services, protection mechanisms, and humanitarian assistance. Structural discrimination, poverty, and social exclusion significantly limit the ability of affected populations to respond to and recover from crises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS further notes that while the humanitarian system has increasingly recognized the importance of inclusion, implementation remains inconsistent and fragmented. In many contexts, humanitarian responses continue to adopt a generalized approach that fails to adequately address diverse and intersectional needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS stresses that inclusive humanitarian assistance must move beyond commitments and be operationalized through concrete measures that ensure accessibility, meaningful participation, and effective accountability at all stages of humanitarian response, including preparedness, response, and recovery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>II<\/strong>. <b>Legal and Policy Framework\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS recalls that inclusive humanitarian assistance is firmly grounded in international human rights law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACHRS notes that the principles of equality and non-discrimination are enshrined in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These principles are further elaborated in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Covenant on<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Economic, Social and Cultural Rights<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which guarantee a broad range of rights applicable in humanitarian contexts.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACHRS emphasizes the importance of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Convention on the Rights of Persons with<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabilities<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> particularly Article 11, which requires States Parties to take all necessary measures to ensure the protection and safety of persons with disabilities in situations of risk, including humanitarian emergencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACHRS further notes the relevance of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discrimination against Women<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which obliges States to eliminate discrimination against women in all areas, including during crises.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, ACHRS highlights the importance of the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guiding Principles on Internal<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Displacement<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which provide a framework for the protection of IDPs, as well as the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sendai<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global Compact on Refugees<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, both of which emphasize inclusive, rights-based approaches to humanitarian action.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS notes that despite the existence of these frameworks, their effective implementation remains limited. Gaps persist between normative commitments and practice, particularly in ensuring accessibility, participation, and accountability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>III. Key Challenges in Implementation\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS identifies several persistent challenges that hinder the implementation of inclusive humanitarian assistance:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b> Lack of disaggregated data\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS notes that the absence of reliable, timely, and disaggregated data remains a major barrier to inclusion. Without data disaggregated by age, gender, disability, and other relevant characteristics, humanitarian actors are unable to accurately identify needs or design targeted interventions. This often results in the exclusion of the most at-risk groups. Specifically, there is a lack of standardized tools, such as the Washington Group Short Set of Questions, being used during rapid assessments to identify persons with disabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b> Barriers to accessibility\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACHRS emphasizes that persons with disabilities continue to face significant barriers in accessing humanitarian assistance. These include physical inaccessibility of shelters and distribution points, lack of accessible information formats, and absence of assistive technologies. ACHRS stresses that accessibility must be systematically integrated into all aspects of humanitarian programming. For example, essential wash facilities (WASH) are often built without ramps or handrails, effectively excluding persons with physical disabilities from basic hygiene services, failing to meet the accessibility standards outlined in the<\/span> <b>IASC<\/b> <b>Guidelines on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b> Limited participation of affected populations\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS notes that affected populations are frequently treated as passive recipients of aid rather than active participants. Mechanisms for participation are often limited, tokenistic, or inaccessible to marginalized groups. ACHRS emphasizes that meaningful participation is critical to ensuring humanitarian responses are responsive and effective. Affected populations and Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) are often excluded from the Humanitarian Cluster System and decision-making &#8216;tables\u2019,leading to aid that does not meet actual requirements. Funding should be specifically earmarked for OPDs to cover the overhead costs of participating in these coordination mechanisms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"4\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b> Gender inequality and protection risks\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACHRS highlights that women and girls face disproportionate risks during humanitarian crises, including gender-based violence, exploitation, and limited access to essential services. ACHRS notes that humanitarian responses often fail to adequately integrate gender-sensitive and protection-focused approaches. Issues observed include the lack of private, accessible distribution lines for women with disabilities, which increases their exposure to protection risks and harassment, contravening the safety and dignity standards established under the<\/span> <b>IASC<\/b> <b>Gender Handbook in Humanitarian Action<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"5\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b> Weak accountability mechanisms\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACHRS notes that accountability mechanisms remain insufficient in many humanitarian contexts. Complaint and feedback systems are often inaccessible, poorly communicated, or ineffective. This limits the ability of affected populations to raise concerns and seek remedies. ACHRS has noted that feedback boxes are often placed at heights unreachable for wheelchair users, or instructions are provided only in written text, representing a failure to implement Commitment 4 of the<\/span> <b>Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS) on Quality and Accountability<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">regarding accessible communication.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"6\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b> Insufficient funding for inclusive approaches\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS emphasizes that inclusive programming is frequently underfunded. Donor priorities do not consistently reflect the importance of inclusion, and dedicated resources for accessibility and targeted interventions remain limited. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>IV. Good practices\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS notes that despite these challenges, several good practices have emerged:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS highlights the importance of community-based approaches, which involve local communities and representative organizations, including organizations of persons with disabilities, in the design and implementation of humanitarian responses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS further notes the effectiveness of the twin-track approach, which combines targeted interventions for specific groups with broader efforts to mainstream inclusion across all programming. A successful application of this includes providing specific assistive devices (targeted) while simultaneously ensuring all distribution centers are built using Universal Design (mainstreaming).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS emphasizes the value of capacity-building initiatives for humanitarian actors, which enhance understanding of inclusion and strengthen implementation of rights-based approaches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS also notes the role of accessible technologies in improving communication and service delivery, particularly when designed with inclusivity in mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">ACHRS highlights the importance of localization, including strengthening the role of local and grassroots actors, which contributes to more sustainable and context-specific responses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><b>V.
