Policy
Disabled persons, especially in the developing world, cannot be granted equality in opportunities and medical care. Due to the underdevelopment of technology and infrastructure, it is impossible for disabled persons to be granted equal freedom. The World Program of Action for Disabled persons acts to allow for the possibility of equality in globally. The International Year of Disabled Persons, which was a catalyst of UN Resolution 37/52, resulting in the World Program of Action concerning Disabled Persons, greatly helped in focusing the global resources on this important issue, thanks to UN Enable. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities contains many ideas and rights that should be granted to people with disabilities, and Iraq looks forward to signing and ratifying this Convention in the near future, after certain measure are taken by Iraq to make the convention more applicable. UN resolution A/RES/37/52 and A/RES/60/131 ** all act in order to help global disabled person, however, the delegation of Iraq believes a more concentrated effort, by focusing on inequalities and underdevelopment in the developing world, which is the root cause of the extremely limited freedom fo disabled people. The lack of resources, technology and/or professionals results in the disabled being offered no jobs, no method of getting around, and no medical treatment. The opening of facilities, both for diagnostics and rehabilitation, will help divert patients from family care to professional care. The delegation of Iraq has first-hand seen the positive outcomes of effective facilities. In other words, Iraq's recent opening of national facilities for disabled persons is helping disabled people by taking them from family care ad giving them professional care that may lead to greater freedom with new technology, and possible rehabilitation. Advertising and promoting these facilities will hopefully break through the cultural beliefs, such as the belief that the disabled should be taken care of by their families, which are present in some nations. As a whole, the delegation of Iraq believes this issue is one that every political leader wishes to strive for, however it may not be achieved due to development issues. As a nation develops, certain issues will be corrected. **
