7 Treaty Facts: Why U.S. Ratification Ratification of the CRPD exports U.S. leadership. CRPD ratification improves global accessibility. Ratification of the CRPD will NOT infringe upon U.S. sovereignty Ratification of the CRPD does NOT establish new rights or required change to current U.S. policy. Ratification of the CRPD will NOT harm parental rights of parents with children with disabilities and will NOT impair the right to home school. Senator Menedez (D-NJ), intends to bring the treaty to the full floor of the Senate in July Coinciding with the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
