Abstract
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was created in 2009. It does not create new rights but does highlight the universal human rights and how these apply for people with disabilities. This article describes the convention in the context of a new understanding of functioning, disability and health and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It highlights the importance of participation in life for children with disabilities and considers the role of Paediatricians in advocacy for these rights.
