International Disability Rights Monitor

"The tremendous disparity in disability law from one country to the next is astounding. The only way to ensure that every government in the world provides equal treatment and respect to its citizens with disabilities is to hold them accountable to a set of standards established through a Convention."

- Dr. William Kennedy Smith, Founder and Chairman of the CIR
