Issue: Disability

The second session of the Committee on Social Development, convened at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok from 19 to 21 October 2010, focused specifically on “Mainstreaming disability into the regional development agenda in Asia and the Pacific”. Among other key recommendations adopted by the 23 Governments from the region taking part in the session, the Committee strongly supported the proclamation of a new decade to promote the rights of persons with disabilities for the period 2013-2022.
