The parents of Archie Battersbee approach UN for intervention
Parents claim decision is a violation of disabled people's rights.
The parents of 12-year-old Archie Battersbee have asked the United Nations to intervene after losing a life-support treatment fight in London courts.
A spokesman for Archie’s family said on Friday that a “last-ditch” application to the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities had been made.
He said Archie’s parents were arguing that the committee has a protocol which allows “individuals and families” to make complaints about “violations of disabled people’s rights”.
