'I’d like to see people making the links between the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are for 15 years, the UN CRPD is for life! Let’s make sure human rights underscore the implementation of the SDGs at a national level!' - Diane Kingston, Deputy Director of CBM's department for International Advocacy and Alliances (IAA) and the UK's elected member of the Expert Committee for the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
