Une publication de Yannis Ktistakis (2014)
This study, written by Gerard Quinn, UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and Israel (Issi) Doron, Head of the Centre for Research and Study of Ageing, University of Haifa, Israel, aims to provide guidance on how to improve the situation of older people in Europe; how the various international human rights standards can be optimised to uphold the rights of older people; and how they can inform national policies to ensure respect for dignity, equality and non-discrimination. The study also analyses the role of different stakeholders - governments, civil society, national human rights institutions, equality bodies - and whether and how the European Social Charter can empower them to interact effectively to move Europe away from the ageist laws and policies of the past.
