Re: Web accessibility standards in Europe, Asia and Africa

Accessibility is voluntary and adopted individually by each country, not
region. The term is called "international harmonization" where we're trying
to get everyone to adopt the same standards.

You'll find individual countries' standards here at the W3C/WAI's website:
