AnnotationThis publication was produced by 9 non-government organisations (NGOs) to strengthen understanding and awareness of the need for a special rapporteur and convention on the rights of older people. It aims to provide the arguments and tools for engaging people - from older women and men themselves, to civil society organisations, to government officials - across the globe in debate about older people's rights and the role of a convention and special rapporteur. It also suggests ways in which individuals and civil society organisations can promote these new human rights instruments in their countries. It includes a bibliography of essential reading. (KJ/RH).
