WASHINGTON -- Advocates for Louisiana's disabled residents are trying
to figure out why the Senate failed to ratify what they view as a
non-controversial treaty designed to bring U.S. protections to other
countries. The vote fell five short of the two-thirds margin needed to
ratify a treaty.
The advocates contend the treaty, known as the United Nations Convention on The Rights of Persons with Disabilities, would insure that disabled Americans, including military, are provided with protections when they travel abroad.
