Ao depositar o instrumento de ratificação (15-05) em Nova York, a Itália passou a fazer parte dos países que adotaram a Convenção sobre Os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência.
Saudando a ratificação, o Ministro Frattini destacou que a “adesão confirma o compromisso persistente do governo com o tema, que sempre teria estado na vanguarda legislativa nos termos da cooperação internacional para a proteção dos direitos humanos, econômicos e sociais das pessoas com deficiência”. A Itália foi o primeiro país da União Européia que apresentou um esboço para um tratado sobre a matéria, ainda em 1986.
A Convenção foi adotada em 2006 e passou a ser o primeiro instrumento internacional a ser dotado no séc. XXI para a proteção dos direitos humanos. Segundo o ministro, a Convenção traria a definição legal para “deficiência” baseada na proposta original italiana. De acordo com estimativas da ONU, existem aproximadamente 650 milhões de pessoas com deficiência em todo o mundo que serão protegidas pelo tratado.
