The Asia-Pacific Institute for Law and Security (APILS) wants everyone to be able to use this website, whatever their abilities or the technology they use.
Our standard
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. We consider the site partially conformant: most of it meets the standard, but some content does not yet, as described below.
What we have done
- Text and interface colours are chosen to meet WCAG contrast requirements, including on dark backgrounds.
- The site can be navigated with a keyboard, and interactive elements have a visible focus indicator.
- Animation is kept to a minimum and switches off if you have asked your device to reduce motion.
- Images that convey information have text alternatives.
- Pages use headings and landmarks so they can be navigated with assistive technologies.
- We check the site with automated accessibility testing tools when we make design changes.
Known limitations
- Content from other services. Podcast players and videos are embedded from third-party platforms, and their accessibility depends partly on those providers. Where available, we link to the episode or video on the provider’s own site.
- Reports. Our reports are published as PDF files on Zenodo, an external repository. Some older documents may not be fully accessible to screen readers.
- Older content. Some older posts may lack image descriptions or have other shortcomings. We fix these as we find them.
Feedback
If you have difficulty using any part of this site, or need content in a different format, please contact us. Tell us the page and the problem, and we will try to respond within 5 working days.
