UK Government News Ratification for Deaf - IDC

Hello Welcolme to IDC Blog. Signed Islington Deaf 

Campaign.  

We are very pleased to tell you -about the time!  

The Government been attending to New York today 

to ratified International Treaty: UN Convention on 

Right of People with Disabilities ALSO Deaf! 

Fanstanic!

IDC on history that Betty (Chairperson), myself 

and IDC been lots of meetings for human rights 

campaign for make sure our rights are match 

to equality. 

We first become very interested in this Treaty 

in 2006. We asked details about International 

Treaty wow very important to us. We want 

these rights! IDC been asking for our Islington MP 

Jeremy Corbyn MP to sign with International Treaty 

and he did asked the Parliament with questions 

and got the answers.

The Government says they will sign the Treaty, 

then finally they did in March 2007. We 

realise that it is only signed which means only 

support these principles from the Govenment.

Not enough. Only signed. There is no law 

changing at all.  We IDC kept going and 

campaign these to the Government.

Today the Government officially ratified 

which means our rights we can use now - 

high standard. We can tell the Government 

to comply with the Treaty. If the government 

ignore, we can use this treaty to show them!

What rights will we have? (Briefly)

1. Right to expression, your views and opinions

in Sign Language. Access to Information in 

BSL. Right to your linquistic identity of Deaf 

Community. It is YOURS identity that proud!

2. Access to BSL Teachers, Interpreters

3. MOST IMPORTANT - Deaf Children - access to 

billigualism - first language BSL and English.

If you want more information, you can read the 

Convention, or you can contact IDC.

This means IDC been successful campaign 

on this issue.  But we have more action to 

make this happen.

Please you deaf people support IDC - 

need to work together, share information, 

respect each other.

How to contact IDC? - details on IDC Blog.

Thank you for watching. Bye.
