Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The right of persons with disabilities to participate in political and public life on an equal basis with others encompasses the right to participate in decision-making. The latter is an essential condition for a human rights-based approach to development and the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities provides a robust framework for guaranteeing the participation of representative organizations of persons with disabilities, and their active involvement and participation in public decision-making. States must embrace these obligations as an opportunity to enhance good and effective governance and to foster agency and empowerment among persons with disabilities.
