The right of persons with disabilities to social protection 2015, para. 17
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The Universal Declaration on Human Rights recognizes the right of everyone to social security (art. 22) and affirms that everyone has the "right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family" and the "right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control" (art. 25). Subsequently this right has been codified in several international and re gional human rights instruments, which also include non-discrimination clauses, thus reaffirming that the right to social security entails an obligation for States to prohibit any form of discrimination related to the enjoyment of this right.
