Resist the U.N.'s Disability Convention | Richard W. Rahn | Cato Institute: Commentary: "Article 4(1)(e) demands that "every person, organization, or private enterprise" must eliminate discrimination on the basis of disability. Taken literally, which some lawyers are sure to do, every homeowner might be required to install wheelchair ramps or even elevators in their homes, regardless of the cost."

"Should the United States accede to this treaty, we will be obligated to write a status report every four years regarding our disability laws and receive criticism and recommendations from a committee of representatives from countries that have lower standards for the disabled than our own. We do not know the scope of this report or its financial and labor costs to the American taxpayer."
