 Greetings All 
    
 Yet another Pacific Island
 country taking the important step of ratifying the UN
 Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
 (CRPD). After signing this international human rights treaty
 for persons with disabilities on 02 June
  2010, Fiji ratified CRPD on 07 June 2017! 
    
 Congratulations to the
 Fiji DPOs and their partners, civil society groups and of
 course the Government of Fiji and its partners for achieving
 this yet another important milestone towards the protection,
 promotion and fulfilment of all human
  rights by all persons with disabilities in Fiji! 
    
 According to the United
 Nations Treaty Collection (UNTC) page, the status of CRPD
 and its Optional Protocol ratification/accession and
 signatories as of 22 June 2017:
  
    
 CRPD: 
 •Ratifications/Accessions:
 174 
 •Signatories*:
 160 
    
 Optional Protocol: 
 •Ratifications/Accessions:
 92 
 •Signatories*:
 92 
    
 We are now eagerly
 awaiting Solomon Islands and Tonga to do the same, that is,
 to ratify the CRPD although they are currently signatories.
 Not sure though about the status of Niue? 
    
 Otherwise, looking good
 for our beloved Pacific!
