| Why it's time for a convention on the rights of older people | | Corporate Author | HelpAge International |
| Publisher | HelpAge International, London, [2009] |
| Pages | 8 pp (HelpAge position paper) |
| Keywords | Attitudes to the old of general public ; Rights [elderly] ; Advocacy ; International. |
| Annotation | This position paper shows how older people's rights are being violated, and why existing rights mechanisms are failing older people. It draws attention to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR, 1948) and other subsequent international and regional conventions and charters. HelpAge International therefore calls for the appointment of a UN special rapporteur on the rights of older people to act as a focal point. (RH). |
