Message of the Secretary General on the occasion of international day of disable persons, 3 December 1996
From its inception, the United Nations has been at the forefront of efforts to improve the lives of persons with disabilities throughout the world. The organization's Charter affirms the principles of fundamental freedoms, the dignity and worth of human beings and the promotion of social progress and better standards of life. Beginning with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the General Assembly in 1948, a number of international human rights instruments have set out the principles and established the foundations on which persons with disabilities can exercise their civil, political, social and cultural rights on an equal basis with other people.
