I thank Mr. Clyne and I thank the Chair for indulging me. I am 100% behind the ratification of the optional protocol urgently but my concern is there is a danger that it is not quite the white knight that people may consider it to be unless it is influencing judicial determinations and every aspect and that everybody understands it and makes a huge paradigm shift as to the rights of persons with disabilities.
