It mentions nothing about non-compliance or remedies and appears to be only a dispute resolution mechanism
The courts in this proposal would be helping nations with compliance by interpreting the resolution, and "a dispute resolution mechanism" is precisely what the enforcement clause of this proposal is. Do you dispute that there will be disputes about accommodations for disabled citizens? I'm not saying nations won't comply; I'm saying there will be disagreements about how they comply.

How can compliance with a resolution be impossible if you believe compliance is automatic?

There is no explicit reference to non-compliance in this resolution, only a reference to obligations arising from international law.

So, if this proposal had given disabled persons the right to sue their governments in an international court, you'd be fine with it?

Re: #208, that’s all about two countries at loggerheads and not a citizen against their government. In any case given that all nations are automatically in compliance with WA law, it’s hard to see how that committee has any work to do at all.
I disagree. The GA Rules actually assume that some nations will not be in compliance with resolutions for the sake of roleplay.
The GA Rules ban proposals that require "that nations are ejected [from the WA] for non-compliance with any resolution."
How can a nation be in "non-compliance with any resolution" (GA Rules) if noncompliance is an impossibility?
