21 January 2019Dear Colleagues,Realizing the rights of persons with disabilities and our collective commitment to leaving no one behind is an imperative that reaches across all three pillars of work of the United Nations. Given our mandate, it is furthermore incumbent on the United Nations system to itself embody this commitment within our own internal arrangements.
