UNITED NATIONS - The Disability Convention Treaty

"What prevents the U.S. from signing the U.N. disabilities treaty?" PBS NewsHour 3/13/2014

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  Opponents of U.S. ratification by Congress of a United Nations convention that pushes for equal rights for those with disabilities argue that it would give the U.N. jurisdiction over domestic laws.  Judy Woodruff gets two views on the treaty from Rhode Island Rep. Jim Langevin and Michael Farris of Patrick Henry College.
