 We are we are honored to be here at this historic event at the entry into force of the Marrakesh Treaty and the setting up of the Assembly under this international treaty. The Committee on the Rights of People with Disabilities is quite clear that the Marrakesh Treaty will contribute to the full inclusion of people who are visually impaired or otherwise print disabled or who can't have access to printed matter. We know that this will facilitate access to education, information, culture and also to recreation and this is why that the United Nations Committee in its concluding observations has always repeated the recommendation to all member states of our convention, 167 of them, has always recommended that they ratify the Marrakesh Treaty. The Disabilities Convention is 10 years old and on this anniversary we are honored to see the birth of the Marrakesh Treaty. We therefore congratulate all those who have worked on its drafting. As a person from the Latin American region we also congratulate all the countries from my region that contributed to the entry into force of this treaty and also as a blind person I feel very happy and very glad that I and many people will be able to enjoy access to literary works and if I may for a few seconds I may quote Khalil Gibran who says and it's called the astronomy and he says more or less the following. When I visited a village I asked where were the wise men of the village and they said that they were the people sitting by the temple. I went there and I found a blind man. When I asked him what principles of wisdom did he follow he said astronomy. I'm putting his hand on his heart he said I know about these moons and these suns and these stars. Thank you very much.
