That’s a good Judith,

I have been a volunteer for the UN e-governance survey and accessibility of websites by the disabled was one of the things looked out for.  Past results of the survey can be found in this url:
https://publicadministration.un.org/egovkb/en-us/Reports/UN-E-Government-Survey-2018

From this I’m sure disabled accessibility is a requirement, hence this is a good ruling.

Hi All,

Just saw this on Facebook. The US Supreme Court refused to opine on a ruling
letting the past ruling by the lower courts stand. That ruling found against
Dominoes because its website was not accessible. This law now allows blind
people to sue retailers if their websites are not accessible,

  The law says that the Americans With Disabilities Act protects access not just
to restaurants and stores but also to the websites and apps of those businesses.
This is a big win for accessibility.
