Recommendation Rec(2006)5 of the Committee of Ministers to Member States on the Council of Europe Action Plan to Promote the Rights and Full Participation of People with Disabilities in Society: Improving the Quality of Life of People with Disabilities in Europe 2006-2015

This action plan for a period of ten years aims to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities in Europe from 2006 to 2015.  It is intercultural in the sense that the document recommends a change of perspective whereby people with disabilities are regarded as citizens rather than patients. Thus their integrated social participation is emphasised and efforts to make this possible are called for.
