| Annotation | Through its work in 70 countries worldwide, HelpAge International (HAI) has direct evidence of the widespread neglect of older people's economic, social and civil rights. HAI believes that this neglect constitutes a significant barrier to progress in promoting human rights and rights based development. This briefing is designed to be used with the companion booklet, "Rights in action", and explores human rights theory and summarises key messages. It includes the texts of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR, 1948) and the United Nations Principles for Older People (Resolution 46/91, approved 16 December 1991). (RH). |
