This article explores the specific measures that States should adopt for the national implementation of reasonable accommodations —a key feature of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and a critical tool in addressing disability equality and non-discrimination. It argues that the Convention itself offers limited guidance on this issue, suggesting that State Parties should turn to the practices of UN human right bodies for orientation, despite acknowledging challenges in doing so. The main finding highlights that the national implementation of reasonable accommodations demands a series of measures across different domains, emphasizing that mere incorporation into national legislation is necessary but not sufficient
