Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Pact would protect the disabled http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg- briefs31.3mar31,1,5120066.story More than 80 countries signed a United Nations convention protecting the rights of the world's 650 million disabled people. The convention will come into force 30 days after ratification by 20 nations, a milestone expected in 2008 or 2009. The measure requires ratifying nations to adopt laws banning discrimination on the basis of any form of disability, including blindness and mental illness.
