What rights are addressed in the Convention?
The purpose of the Convention is to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights by persons with disabilities. The articles of the Convention recognize all rights, civil, cultural, economic, political, and social. The United Nations promotes the notion that these rights cannot be separated, and thus the Convention addresses them as integrated aspects of the entire spectrum of individuals’ rights. These rights identify action-oriented policy interventions for States to adopt in order to actively bring legislative and judicial systems in line with the Convention.
