HUMAN RIGHTS: HISTORIC RATIFICATION BY THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY

27 November 2009 /// The European Community has just ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Unprecedented
step forward for the first human rights treaty ratified in the history of Europe and a great signal sent to all EU Members States.

In thursday’s session of the Council of the European Union, the European Community ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD). This ratification represents a major policy shift toward enforcing human rights obligations and putting disability on top of the human rights agenda: this is the first time in the European Union history that the Community is going to accede to an international human rights treaty.
