UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)

This convention can be accessed directly in the United Nations website: http://templatelab.com/convention-on-the-rights-of-persons-with-disabilities/​

It is the main instrument for providing basic human rights to the world’s disabled peoples, who number about 15% of the global population. While the UN Convention is an international instrument, its success in making a difference in the lives of a billion people rests with its implementation taking place at the national (country) level.
