While making the National Statement at the 9th meeting of State Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Permanent Representative Dr. Rohan Perera said that “The Government of Sri Lanka is of the firm conviction that Sri Lanka should uphold the rights of all people without leaving anyone behind. Ratification of this Convention by Sri Lanka also indicates its strong political commitment to the protecting and promoting of the rights of the disabled people in the country”.
This the first time that Sri Lanka participated at the CRPD meeting as a State Party.
