The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has held two important hearings on the U.S. Ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Hundreds of disability organizations, U.S. businesses, and our nations veterans support the CRPD. It's time to develop Reservations, Understandings, and Declarations (RUDs) that will move the CRPD to the Senate floor for a vote.
The U.S. Is losing businesses opportunities because other countries that have ratified are turning to other countries that have ratified for advice and technology that the U.S. can provide because we have decades of experience and the technology and manufacturers! Improved access overseas also creates opportunities for people with disabilities who want to live, work (DoD civilians) and travel overseas
