DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/72/161)\n\n\n\n	According to the World Federation 
	of the Deaf\, there are more than 70 million deaf people worldwide. More t
	han 80% of them live in developing countries. Collectively\, they use more
	 than 300 different sign languages.\n\n\n\n	Sign languages are fully fledg
	ed natural languages\, structurally distinct from the spoken languages. Th
	ere is also an international sign language\, which is used by deaf people 
	in international meetings and informally when travelling and socializing. 
	It is considered a pidgin form of sign language that is not as complex as 
	natural sign languages and has a limited lexicon.\n\n\n\n	The Convention o
	n the Rights of Persons with Disabilities recognizes and promotes the use 
	of sign languages. It makes clear that sign languages are equal in status 
	to spoken languages and obligates states parties to facilitate the learnin
	g of sign language and promote the linguistic identity of the Deaf communi
	ty.\n\n\n\n	The UN General Assembly has proclaimed 23 September as the Int
	ernational Day of Sign Languages in order to raise awareness of the import
	ance of sign language in the full realization of the human rights of peopl
	e who are deaf.\n\n\n\n	The resolution establishing the day acknowledges t
	hat early access to sign language and services in sign language\, includin
	g quality education available in sign language\, is vital to the growth an
	d development of the deaf individual and critical to the achievement of th
	e internationally agreed development goals. It recognizes the importance o
	f preserving sign languages as part of linguistic and cultural diversity. 
	It also emphasizes the principle of “nothing about us without us” in t
	erms of working with Deaf communities.\n\n
