The Universal Declaration of Human Rights recognises the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all human beings. A person with disabilities is entitled equally to that human right without discrimination as any abled person. They also have the right not to be harassed, taunted, or teased for having disabilities. Human rights in New Zealand are protected by the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (NZ BORA) and the Human Rights Act 1993. New Zealand also signed and ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (The Disability Convention) in 2008.
