"The Center for International Rehabilitation was an invaluable ally to states parties during the three years leading up to the passage of the International Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities. The information provided to the Ad Hoc Committee through the International Disability Rights Monitoring project and the support provided to civil society during the convention process were instrumental to the successful conclusion of the negotiations." - Ambassador Luis Gallegos of Ecuador, former Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee on a Comprehensive and Integral Internal Convention on Protection and Promotion of the Rights and Dignity of Persons with Disabilities. |
