The UNCRPD created a framework regarding how countries should treat people with disabilities. The IDA's goal is to enforce these rules on a country by country basis. In a letter to the UN Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (UNOHCHR), the IDA clearly stated their mission, "newborns with disabilities are murdered in different regions across the world for want of a family's capacity or willingness to take care of a child considered to be a burden."[1] The IDA's mission is to change the way people regard people with disabilities.
