The
government of Pakistan forgot the ratification.
The
United Nations General Assembly agreed to the Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities in 2006. So far, 148 states have signed and hundred
have sanctioned this dynamic convention. The Government of Pakistan engaged in
and signed the convention on September 25, 2008.
The
President said the Constitution of Pakistan guarantees equal rights to all
citizens. Addressing the gathering, the President termed the day as historic
and said that it was a great pleasure and privilege that the signing and the
ratification was happening during the present democratic government. He called
upon members of civil society, NGOs and affluent people to assist the
government in ensuring that the people with special needs are being properly
looked after. President Zardari said caring for the special people was very
close to his heart and he was personally committed to the cause of disabled
people. The President called upon the federal and provincial governments to
carefully review the UN Convention and take all necessary steps for the
protection and due care of every special person. President Asif Ali Zardari
signed the Instrument of Ratification on the UN Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities at Aiwan-e-Sadr (Presidency) at a special ceremony
attended by persons with special needs, members of civil society, NGOs and I
NGOs.
The
Convention is envisioned as a human rights mechanism with a flawless, social
development measurement. It takes on a wide-ranging classification of persons
with disabilities and endorses that all persons with all types of disabilities
must relish all human rights and fundamental free will. It illuminates and meets
the requirements that how all groups of rights apply to persons with
disabilities and recognizes areas where adaptations have to be made for persons
with disabilities to excellently exercise their rights and areas where their
rights have been violated, and where protection of rights must be protected.
We
person with Disabilities Appeal to the Government of Pakistan. Please take
serious steps for the betterment of all disabled persons. Do not forget the
special person, disabled persons.
