Thought you might be interested to hear that the UK ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities yesterday (June 8, 2009).

 

The Convention is designed to protect and promote the human rights of disabled persons, explicitly stating they must be afforded the same human rights as other people. An additional Parliamentary process will also be established, to ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention.
