RUDD GOVERNMENT PROPOSED RATIFICATION OF UN DISABILITIES CONVENTION
(FED)
Attorney-General Robert McClelland and Parliamentary Secretary for
Disabilities and Children's Services Bill Shorten announced that the
Rudd Government has today tabled in Parliament a National Interest
Analysis, which proposes that Australia ratify the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The Convention
recognises that people with disabilities are entitled to enjoy all human
rights on an equal basis with others, Attorney-General Robert McClelland
said. It also assists countries all over the world to promote awareness
of those rights and take practical steps to enable people with
disability to participate fully in society.
