The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is an international human rights treaty of the United Nations intended to protect the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities. Parties to the convention are required to promote, protect, and ensure the full enjoyment of human rights by persons with disabilities and ensure that persons with disabilities enjoy full equality under the law. The Convention serves as a major catalyst in the global disability rights movement enabling a shift from viewing persons with disabilities as objects of charity, medical treatment and social protection towards viewing them as full and equal members of society, with human rights.[1][2][3] The convention was the first U.N. human rights treaty of the twenty-first century.[4]

The text was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 13 December 2006,[5] and opened for signature on 30 March 2007. Following ratification by the 20th party, it came into force on 3 May 2008.[6] As of March 2024, it has 164 signatories and 191 parties, 190 states and the European Union (which ratified it on 23 December 2010).[7] The convention is monitored by the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for which annual Conferences of States Parties to the CRPD have set guidelines since 2008. The thirteenth Conference of States Parties was scheduled to meet in New York in June 2020, then rescheduled tentatively to meet in December 2020[8] due to the COVID-19 crisis.[9]
