The CRPD in the Arab Region
Table 1 below shows the status of signing and ratifying the CRPD and its Optional Protocol in the Arab region.[1] All Arab States have ratified the CRPD except for Lebanon, which signed it in 2007 but has not yet ratified it, due to delays in the Lebanese legislature and political process.
