Purpose
The purpose of the present Convention is to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity.
Persons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.
Denne bestemmelsen skal sikre at personer med funksjonsnedsettelser har de samme menneskerettighetene og frihetene som alle andre. Den skal bidra til respekt for deres menneskeverd og hindre barrierer som stenger dem ute fra samfunnet.AI
