First Human Rights Treaty Of The 21st Century


I was fortunate enough to be present at The United Nations last week when The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was adopted. This will affect 650 Million people worldwide. Not that the media gave it anything approaching reasonable coverage. Found a couple of articles though:

BBC CNN ALJAZEERA

Fox news didnt mention it at all (too busy with the red herring story regarding the murder of Jonbenet Ramsey)

I'll be posting my own photos from the ad-hoc meeting in the next couple of days.
