Virtually all institutions covered make payments to the fund rather than offer employment to disabled people. Consequently, having jobs or enjoying the right to work are distant dreams for disabled people. Big Business has always complained that this is too burdensome. In the upcoming economic hard times, Big Business will raise its voice, and the law may change to lighten the burden for them. Thus, the economic crisis may end in a human rights crisis.
Economic conditions are one of the important factors determining the human rights situation.
Rights are nothing if not claimed and if not enforced. Even though the list of human rights becomes lengthier, in particular under international and regional human rights regimes, these are impotent if not effectively implemented. In addition to competent NGOs, human rights commissions should be established for effective legislation and the enforcement of human rights. Human rights commissions are expected to link international bodies and domestic courts and to link the State and NGOs. Human rights commissions, the public forum where human rights matter, are a necessity in modern States to find and cope with the discrepancies between law and practice.
