# UNG485-86 - 2008 UN Geneva Persons with Disabilities
In December 2006, the United Nations adopted the charter to ensure that all people with disabilities are granted the human rights and freedoms they deserve. “Nothing About Us Without Us,” issued by Geneva, is an international motto adopted by the disabled movement. The U.N. convention calls for full involvement of disabled people in the creation of policies that affect them. Geneva’s Sign Language stamp shows a person signing the word “love.” Sign language is the primary form of communication among the deaf.
