(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order declares the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (“the Convention”), which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 13th December 2006, and signed by the United Kingdom and the European Community on 30th March 2007, to be one of the Community Treaties as defined by section 1(2) of the European Communities Act 1972.
The Convention sets out the obligation on States to promote, protect, and ensure the human rights of disabled people, so that they are treated on an equal basis with other people. It does not aim to establish new human rights for disabled people, but to set out with greater clarity the human rights that disabled people already have. The Convention has a wide field of application, encompassing both civil and political rights, and economic, social and cultural rights. It covers rights in all areas of life including: the right to life, liberty and security of the person; access to justice; personal mobility; health; education; work; and recreation, and provides for equal recognition of disabled people before the law. It also makes specific provision about the rights of disabled women and children.
The principal effect of declaring the Convention to be a Community Treaty as so defined is that the provisions of section 2 of the European Communities Act 1972 (which provides for the general implementation of European Treaties) apply to it.
