Guidelines
Most well-known is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines – WCAG.
WCAG is also the ISO standard 40500, and adopted in the European standard called EN 301 549.
There are over one billion people with disabilities, or about 15 to 20% of the population.
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities defines that access to information, including the Web, as a human right.
Most countries around the world have ratified this UN convention, and several have adopted binding policies too.
Regardless of any laws and regulations, implementing the Web accessibility standards is essential for people with disabilities, helpful and useful for everyone.
