MESSAGE ON The International Day
of Persons with Disabilities

"Together for a better world for all
Including persons with disabilities in development"


3 December 2012


It is thirty years since the United Nations first observed the International
Year of Disabled Persons under the theme "Full Participation and Equality".
During that period, there has been significant progress in raising awareness
about the rights of persons with disabilities and in strengthening the
international normative framework to realize those rights - from the World
Programme of Action (1982) to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities (2006).

More and more countries are committing to protecting and promoting the
rights of persons with disabilities.  However, many challenges remain.
Persons with disabilities experience higher rates of poverty and deprivation
and are twice as likely to lack health care.  Employment rates of persons
with disabilities in some countries are as low as one-third of that of the
overall population.  In developing countries, the gap in primary school
attendance rates between children with disabilities and others ranges from
10 per cent to 60 per cent.

This multi-dimensional exclusion represents a huge cost, not only to persons
with disabilities but to society as a whole.  This year's International Day
of Persons with Disabilities reminds us that development can only be
sustainable when it is equitable, inclusive and accessible for all.  Persons
with disabilities need therefore to be included at all stages of development
processes, from inception to monitoring and evaluation.

Addressing negative attitudes, the lack of services or ready access to them,
and other harmful social, economic and cultural barriers will benefit all of
society.

On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, I call on
governments, civil society and the global community to work for and
alongside persons with disabilities to achieve inclusive, sustainable and
equitable development worldwide.





Best regards,
Mr. Kay Lieker
