520 _a"There is still no global treaty to protect the rights of people with disabilities, who are only implicitly covered by existing human rights treaties. Among the eight UN core treaties, only the Convention on the Rights of the Child makes explicit reference to children with disabilities. Declarations and principles that address the rights of the disabled are legally non-binding and are considered inadequate by many disability advocates, reflecting a change in the way societies view themselves and promote integration of the disabled." (UN CHRONICLE) This article addresses human rights of disabled persons, noting that "as the world ages, the number of people with disabilities is expected to increase, underscoring the importance of a new treaty" to ensure that all persons are treated with dignity.
