Ms Karen Hall:

Yes. That is why we felt that the engagement was important. We needed to ensure that the voice of disabled persons was heard within the argument. There has been a significant shift across the UK, with organisations coming together to campaign and lobby against the trajectory of its legislation and to intervene in court cases. From a human rights perspective, there is nothing in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, CRPD, on this matter. In its concluding observations on some of the countries that have provided for assisted dying, the UN committee has strongly said that they are not compliant.
