Today (Wednesday, 3 December) is International Day of Disabled People and this year the United Nations indicated that “Dignity and Justice for All” should be the focus for the day. In its letter to newspaper editors, the United Nations Convention Campaign Coalition (a group of 31 disability organisations and their allies, of which CSIE is one) has expressed its concern at the government’s intention to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities with reservations and points out that there does not seem to be much dignity or justice in reserving on essential rights.
