Un Convention On The Rights Of Persons With Disabilities (No. 2)

EDM number 2191 in 2007-08, proposed by David Taylor on 07/10/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Disability discrimination, Equality and United Nations.

That this House is concerned by the delay in the Government's ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; notes that to date 41 signatories have ratified this progressive international human rights instrument, including Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, China, Cuba, India, Kenya, New Zealand, Niger, Paraguay, Qatar, South Africa, Spain and Tunisia; believes that the UK's delay in ratification compromises the Government's existing achievements and objectives in tackling disability discrimination; and calls upon the Government to ratify the Convention without reservation or further delay.

This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs.
