lpv:translated text	". Who could vote against a document so replete with declarations of good intent? It is indeed obvious that we must assess the situation of disabled people ‘from the perspective of human rights and not from one of charity’! We must indeed ‘facilitate the fulfilment of the aspirations of disabled people’! The simple fact is, though, that the necessity of reaffirming such elementary truths as that the disabled are human beings itself demonstrates how far this is from being obvious in this inhumane society. And, despite the title, ‘Towards a United Nations legally binding instrument to (…) protect the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities’, there is nothing whatever binding about the document, and how, in any case, could matters be otherwise? How does one ensure, for example, that persons with disabilities have ‘access to work’ when such access is denied to 30 million people, with and without disabilities, in the European Union? How is one to ensure that they have ‘the right to live independently and with dignity in the community’ or even ‘the right to accessible housing’? How is one to ensure this at a time when all governments are cutting back on social security benefits and when the minimal allowances paid to the disabled allow them to do little more than feed themselves as best they can?"@en1
