Sažetak
Awareness of different people's abilities, characteristics and needs and their inclusion should be and are attributes and tasks of modern, responsible societies, since in today’s information society access to information is a basic human right - a prerequisite for equality and equal opportunities. Information and communication technology (ICT) as an assistive technology and a tool supporting diverse users through its quality aspects (usability and accessibility) is a very important factor in this concept. International standards, recommendations and (best) practices of ICT addressing accessibility issues of information discussed in the paper are among key drivers of promoting and assuring accessibility of information and ICT. In general, international standards and recommendations should also foster and put into practice the universal design as the design of products, environments, programs and services being usable by all people to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design, as stated in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
