The United Nations Standard Rules for the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities is the main international instrument to help persons with disabilities to obtain their human rights. This site is intended to help persons, especially those with disabilities, to use the rules to obtain their rights.

If you want to learn more about the meaning of the Standard Rules, you can consult the training material from a training seminar organized by Disabled People’s International with the assistance of Associates for International Management Services.
