| United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities | | |  The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities received its 20th ratification on April 3rd, with the Convention and its Optional Protocol to come in to force on May 3rd, 2008. “This marks a major milestone in the effort to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms of persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity” states the website.What this will mean for people with disabilities in Canada is uncertain at this time.More information can be found at http://www.un.org/disabilities | | | |
