UN rights chief calls for boosting political participation of persons with disabilities

1 March 2012 – The United Nations human rights chief today called for the removal of barriers that prevent the participation of persons with disabilities in political life and public affairs.
High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said that although she was encouraged by the 109 States that have already ratified or acceded to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, much more needs to be done to ensure their rights are respected and enforced.
