“Principle of "reasonable accommodation"
The Convention defines "reasonable accommodation" as "necessary and appropriate modification and adjustments not imposing a disproportionate or undue burden, where needed in a particular case, to ensure to persons with disabilities the enjoyment or exercise on an equal basis with others” [0]
Suing every hole in the wall out of business is hardly in line with reasonable accommodation.

- TheNorthman 4y ago> Suing every hole in the wall out of business is hardly in line with reasonable accommodation. Suing is the enforcement mechanism chosen by the Israelis and the US, not the reasoning behind the requirement. The reasoning is: The disabled should have equal access to dining and it's not an undue burden to expect ramps outside of businesses. Most of the developed world is like this. You might disagree with that reasoning but clearly a political majority in the US didn't and doesn't.
