EU:
Historic Ratification of International Human Rights Treaty (pdf): "
The EU has reached a “milestone in the history of human rights” by ratifying the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on the 23rd December 2010.1 This marks not only a significant achievement in the global attempt to ensure equal rights for persons with disabilities, but it is also the first time ever the EU becomes party to an international human rights treaty."
