In his presentation, the Ombudsman explained the activity of the independent mechanism supporting, protecting and controlling the implementation of CRPD. In his speech, Dr. Ákos Kozma underlined the following: “Not even in hard times, at the time of economic, social or humanitarian crises can one forget that the state has fundamental and active obligations in ensuring the rights of persons with disabilities. Real opportunities are created in a slow process of small achievements through robust efforts, and this is how “rights to all” are gradually ensured.” 

Since January 2023, the Commissioner for Fundamental Rights of Hungary has performed the tasks of the independent mechanism for disability, meeting all the international requirements and obligations that are imposed on the individual states by the international organisations with regard to the national-level management of disability-related matters. As part of this responsibility, he continues to pay visits to institutions providing care to persons with disabilities and controls their operation. 

During the conference, Dr. Ákos Kozma held bilateral negotiations with the Uzbek Ombudsperson Ms. Feruza Eshmatova. At these bilateral talks, the ombudspersons exchanged their views on the bilateral professional relations between their institutions, the development and strengthening thereof, as well as the possible ways for future cooperation.
