- In the World Report on Disability, jointly published by the Bank and the World Health Organization, the leaders of the two organizations stated that the report aimed to "provide the evidence for innovative policies and programmes that can improve the lives of people with disabilities, and facilitate implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities … This landmark international treaty reinforced our understanding of disability as a human rights and development priority." The report itself is full of practical guidance about how international human rights law is relevant to dealing with disability issues in development.
