To Everyone
I will ask you this same question(again), within the UN Disability
Convention and UN Disability Convention-2, like I did over a week ago(22nd
July), but I got no answers, so I'll try again and also send it to Danmai(UK
Disability Network) too and Disability Research forum to see if I get any
answers there??
You have got my permission of 'copyleft' to share this with others around
the globe.... Here we go again, so please....
Can someone please explain to be why then disabled people need our own UN
Disability Convention, when we already have the protection within the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
Are we then 'less then human' then?
I need to remind people that...On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of
the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. " I can't remember disabled people being 'exluded' from this, can
you?
Are not then all disabled people then not given full legal protection under
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, or as I said are we 'aliens from
a different planet' and not then afforded the 'equal' protections within
these same basic human rights and civil liberties as non disabled people?
I've heard that if we don't watch it, that we could be 'cutting our own
noses off to spite our faces' and falling into a 'deadly-trap' and the UN
Disability Convention will actually weaken our basic human rights and civil
liberties, not strenghten them within it's current context.
So don't say I didn't warn you all!!
Yours
Colin R
