Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 70

Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Early efforts by the United Nations in the 1970s included the adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Mentally Retarded Persons (General Assembly resolution 2856 (XXVI)), followed by the Declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons (Assembly resolution 3447 (XXX)). Those non-binding instruments reflect an important development in terms of placing disability on the international agenda, but they did not fully reflect existing human rights principles.
