| Topic: GS2 – Polity – Judiciary – Functioning – Alternative dispute resolution mechanism Crucial for UPSC, addressing disability rights through structured negotiation ensures inclusive governance, aligning with constitutional values and social welfare legislations. |
| Context: |
|
Introduction:
- Structured negotiation is a collaborative, solution-driven dispute resolution technique gaining popularity as an alternative to litigation.
Success Stories:
- Effectively addressed issues like inaccessible ATMs, point-of-sale devices, pedestrian signals, and service provider websites.
- Major companies (Walmart, CVS, Caremark) adopted accessible solutions, including prescription bottles for blind or low vision customers.
- Achieved institutional reforms in creating more accessible voting machines and websites.
Win-Win Situation:
- Success lies in creating a win-win situation.
- Defaulting service providers avoid costs and negative publicity associated with litigation.
- Complainants seek barrier-free participation in the marketplace.
- Methodology enhanced by the establishment of disabled-friendly legal precedents.
India’s Challenge:
- Red tape and increasing court delays in India dissuade parties from traditional dispute resolution methods.
- Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, allows reporting non-compliance to the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities (CCPD).
- Impact on repairing accessibility barriers uncertain.
Potential of Structured Negotiation in India:
- Valuable tool in India where traditional legal routes face challenges.
- Recent case of PayTM highlights the need for real-time vigilance in making digital services accessible.
- Provides a direct avenue for Persons with Disabilities to address concerns and monitor implementations.
Priority is Key:
- Success in alternative dispute resolution depends on service providers prioritizing the struggles of persons with disabilities.
- Until providers recognize benefits of serving this market, achieving amicable settlements outside courts remains challenging.
- Businesses that prioritize disabled users’ needs and embrace structured negotiation can tap into significant buying capacity of persons with disabilities.
Conclusion:
- Time has come for India to embrace structured negotiation extensively.
- Businesses that fail to prioritize needs of disabled users risk losing out on both legal compliance and substantial purchasing power of persons with disabilities.
- Openness to structured negotiation is a powerful step toward inclusivity and accessibility.
