The rights of the elderly

Bill of Rights for the Elderly sees the light of day
and Community Duties

“We need to conceive of old age as a “great age” in which frailty coexists with enormous potential, with the possibility of still contributing much to civic and social life.” The Charter of Elderly People's Rights and Community Duties outlines the basis of what could be a UN Convention for the Elderly, in all analogy to that which protects the life of the child. The Charter also identifies the obligations that every society and-we would like-every country assumes in view of the best interest of the survival of the elderly in conditions of dignity and inclusion.
