Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The establishment of the new mandate comes as important recognition of how far the global community has come in the recent past in the advancement and the promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities. In a very short period of time, there has been an extraordinary paradigm shift, a change in the way persons with disabilities have been perceived and hence treated. From its initial focus on charity and medical considerations, the international community has moved towards a model that recognizes that social and environmental barriers are the real obstacles for the enjoyment of human rights by persons with disabilities. It is in that interaction between a person with an impairment and his or her environment where discrimination and rights violations arise, resulting in disability, and it is only by addressing those social aspects that persons with disabilities will be fully included in their communities.
