Armenia Signs U.N. Convention to Protect Disabled People's Rights



Yet another small step in the right direction for Armenia.
Armenia has become the 81st nation to sign this Convention and the third former Soviet nation, after Moldova and Lithuania, to do so.

The purpose of this Convention is to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity.
Signing it is one thing, but completely changing the perspectives of a few million people is something else entirely.
