The Commission Renews its Commitment to Promoting and Protecting the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

Published 05.03.2015.

Osobe s invaliditetom - ilustracijaThe first high-level meeting of the EU’s monitoring Framework for the UN Disability Convention was held on 4 March 2015 and saw the Commission renew its commitment to promoting, protecting and monitoring the rights of persons with disabilities.

The European Commission, Members of the European Parliament, the European Ombudsman, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights and the European Disability Forum met in Brussels.

The EU has been party to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (the UN Convention) since January 2011. As of February 2015, 25 EU Member States have also ratified the UN Convention. Finland, Ireland and the Netherlands have signed, but not yet ratified.

This means that the EU as well as those Member States that are parties to the UN Convention are committed to upholding and protecting the rights of persons with disabilities as enshrined in the UN Convention, within their respective powers. Restoring social fairness and creating a Union where discrimination has no place is a priority for the European Commission.
