Save the date: 8-9/11/2010 A European perspective for the UN Convention
The Faculty of Law of Maastricht University, the European Disability Forum and Fundación Once ore organising the Conference:
“The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – a European Perspective” at Maastricht University on 8-9/11/2010.
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is the first human rights Convention of the new century. It covers a wide range of classical and substantive rights, which state must guarantee.
From a European perspective, it is the first human rights convention which the European Community negotiated and signed, and it will be the first such convention which the European Union will conclude.
Moreover, the Convention will impose significant obligations on all EU Member States.
Lastly, the Convention opens the door for disability NGOs to play an important role in monitoring the implementation at national and EU level.
The purpose of this conference is to examine some of the consequences and obligations imposed by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities from a European perspective.
When: 8-9 November 2010
Where: Maastricht University, Karl Dittrichzaal, Bonnefantenstraat 2
