ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the ability in the United Nations. It focuses on the important United Nations legislation dealing with disability discrimination in the fight for disability equality, namely the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; Statute of the International Court of Justice; Equal Remuneration Convention. The General Conference of the International Labor Organisation, convened at Geneva, adopted on 5 July 1958 the Discrimination Convention, which entered into force on 15 June 1960. Economic, social and cultural rights are designed to ensure the protection of people as full persons, based on a perspective in which people can enjoy rights, freedoms and social justice. The motivation behind the development of an Optional Protocol for Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) was to bring CEDAW itself on an equal footing with other international human rights instruments, enhancing its enforcement mechanisms.
