Children with Disabilities
Increased concern in the international community with regard to the
situation of children with disabilities has been reflected in
resolutions adopted recently by the United Nations. One of these is
Economic and Social Council resolution 1997/20
of 21 July 1997, entitled “Children with disabilities”, which
recognizes the need to direct special attention towards children with
disabilities, their families and caretakers, and urges Governments and
the Secretary-General to give full attention to the rights, special
needs and welfare of children with disabilities. The need to address
issues related to children with disabilities was further reiterated as a
priority in General Assembly resolutions 56/115
of 19 December 2001, and 54/121 of 17
December 1999, and Economic and Social Council resolutions 2000/10 of 27 July 2000 and 2002/26 of 23
July 2003.
