December 3rd also marks the anniversary of opening to signature ofthe Mine Ban Treaty (3 December 1997) and the Convention on Cluster Munitions (3 December 2008).
On this day, we join the international community in celebrating The International Day of Persons with Disablities. We pay special tribute to our survivors, colleagues and friends who have been at the forefront of campaigning against landmines and cluster munitions. We thank all of you today for continuing to inspire us and the world, for being the reminder why our work is so important, for bringing the reality into conference rooms and documents, for pushing for progress on the rights and needs of persons with disabilities and for championing the overall work under our conventions!
