Answer: It seeks to ensure that all persons are treated equally.
Explanation:
The first international document adopted in the 21st century is the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. A large number of politicians, people from the non-governmental sector and people with disabilities participated in the drafting of the convention.
The aim is to ensure that persons with disabilities have a healthy life and rights as equal elements of a community. The authors view this convention through the prism of equality as an elementary principle of a democratic society. They seek to squeeze out all the fragments of discrimination against persons with disabilities in modern society.

The origins of these acts go back to the constitution where the article 4 has a clause called the fugitive slave clause which orders states to deliver up fugitives from labor (euphemism for runaway slaves) when they are requested by slaveholders.
This clause was translated into the first 1793 statute which was basically a civil statute that was not well enforced according to the southern states, thus leading to the creation of the 1850 fugitive slave act.
The 1850 act was tougher than the previous one, punishing not only runaway slaves, but also people who harbored or aided slaves in any way, with civil and criminal penalties including up to 6 months imprisonment if caught and prosecuted successfully.
There were many documented cases of people being tortured and imprisoned in south because of helping fugitives.
These acts directly violated the democracy in several ways for example:
- Slavery had been abolished in many states of the US by the time these acts were created
- They were considered by many as some species of legalized kidnapping
- They encouraged illegal abduction or arrest and sale into slavery of free black men and women denying them the fair right to trial
One clear example would be the movie "Twelve years a slave" which depicts the documented case of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was sold as a slave without proof of him being one.
