on the application of the Human Rights Defender, the Constitutional Court has
declared unconstitutional the legal regulations establishing an absolute ban on
appointing individuals with permanent complete deafness or deaf-mutism in both
ears, or binocular blindness - why was the decision important and what impact
does it have?
