WHO Policy on disability

Overview

WHO commits, through this policy, to making WHO an organization which is inclusive of people with disability in all their diversity and systematically integrates disability in all programme areas, contributing to the practical implementation of the globally agreed commitments contained in the United Nations (UN) treaties, conferences and summits and their follow-up, such as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; the Sendai Framework the Addis Ababa Action Agenda of the Third International Conference on Financing for Development; the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III); the multiple resolutions adopted by the General Assembly, the World Health Assembly (WHA) and the Human Rights Council; and the World Humanitarian Summit.
