• The UN convention should promote inclusion, independence, political enfranchisement, and economic self-sufficiency of persons with disabilities as foundational requirements for any free and just society; and,

• it should provide protections that are at least as strong as the rights that are now recognized under international human rights law for other vulnerable populations; and,

• the President should instruct the Secretary of State to send to the United Nations Ad Hoc Committee meetings a United States delegation that includes individuals with disabilities who are recognized leaders in the United States disability rights movement.
