<![CDATA[The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed various aspects of human life, including public services, education, employment, healthcare, and access to information. While digitalization offers significant opportunities for social and economic development, it also presents challenges related to digital exclusion, particularly for persons with disabilities. Despite international and national commitments to equality and non-discrimination, many digital platforms, applications, and public services remain inaccessible, limiting the participation of persons with disabilities in the digital environment. This situation raises concerns regarding the fulfillment of fundamental human rights and the realization of inclusive and sustainable development. This study examines the importance of developing an accessible digital ecosystem for persons with disabilities from a human rights and sustainable development perspective. Using a normative legal research method, the study analyzes international human rights instruments, including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), as well as relevant national legal frameworks and policy initiatives concerning digital accessibility and inclusion. The research also explores the relationship between digital accessibility, equality, participation, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly the commitment to "leave no one behind." The findings demonstrate that digital accessibility is not merely a technical or technological issue but a fundamental human rights obligation. Accessible digital infrastructure enables persons with disabilities to exercise their rights to information, education, employment, political participation, and public services on an equal basis with others. Therefore, governments, technology providers, and other stakeholders must integrate accessibility principles into digital governance and technological innovation. Strengthening inclusive digital policies and accountability mechanisms is essential to ensuring that technological advancement contributes to sustainable development while safeguarding the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities.]]>
