Human rights of older peopleuniversal and regional legal perspectives /[electronic resource] :by Claudia Martin, Diego Rodriguez-Pinzon, Bethany Brown. - Dordrecht :Springer Netherlands :2015. - x, 353 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Ius Gentium: comparative perspectives on law and justice,v.451534-6781 ;. - Ius gentium ;v.11..

Foreword -- Introduction -- United Nations Systems -- Global and Regional Action Plans on Ageing -- Human Rights of Older Persons and Millennium Development Goals -- Human Rights of Older Persons and Cultural Norms -- The Americas -- Africa -- Asia and the Pacific -- Europe -- Conclusions - Status of the Rights of Older Persons -- Global and Regional Efforts to Strengthen the Protection of the Rights of Older Persons -- Annex - Sources.

This book focuses on descriptions of the developments in legal frameworks and policies regarding the human rights of older persons. First, it covers the policies adopted and practices developed at the universal system, particularly within the sphere of the United Nations. Second, it includes a side-by-side comparison of the work of regional human rights mechanisms, which have picked up some momentum in the past decade. Through its inclusion of law, policy, and current processes, the widest net possible has been cast to collect a descriptive resource for advocates. Overall, we hope that this book contributes to a better understanding of the current limitations and possibilities that international institutions offer to uphold the human rights of older persons. We expect that this information will allow states and other policy makers to move forward with the international recognition of the human rights of older persons. We know this is only a first effort in compiling and reporting the standards that are being produced by different international institutions. But we have no doubt that many others will follow with their expert analysis of these emerging standards, and that the ongoing discussion will finally crystalize in international human rights binding instruments explicitly recognizing the universal rights of older persons.
