Today, 3rd December is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the official title of which was changed from International Day of Disabled Persons on the 18th December 2007 by the General Assembly resolution 62/127.The theme of this year is “Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Dignity and justice for all of us”. Dignity and justice for all persons are established universal principles. Since its inception, the United Nations has recognized that the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family are the foundations of freedom, justice and peace in the world. These principles, along with equality and non-discrimination, have guided the work of the United Nations for the past 60 years and are enshrined in various instruments such as the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as in treaties such as the International Covenants on Human Rights, and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. These instruments are among those which make up the international human rights framework, are complementary and reaffirm that all human rights are universal, indivisible, interrelated, interdependent and mutually reinforcing.More info:UN Enable WikipediaAll Africa Digital Awakening
