WCAG 2.0 and other national/international accessibility standards

Hi, everyone.

My goal is to compare WCAG 2.0 with other national/international
accessibility standards: those of the US, Australia, and the EU.

I am finding that, in the case of most countries, they basically have an
accessibility standard, but, these standards more or less draw from WCAG
2.0. so technically, although they have a specific name for their
accessibility standards, the standards refer to WCAG 2.0 more or less.

Your thoughts please?

Resources I found:
Australia

US

EU Commission

Thanks very much.

Julius
