Overview

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was established in
1948, but we might still not have been able to fully incorporate these rights
in our national legislation. Human rights are described in detail in another
learning unit, therefore we will not
elaborate on Human Rights in this learning unit. We will discuss the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities (CRPD).
