Rights of elderly people are fundamental rights, and so have been recognized as over the last seventy years, through numerous and various international instruments. The protection of these rights sets out conceptual and practical challenges that have to do with the delimitation of their content, the identification of their characteristics and the question of their effectiveness and enforceability and its protection, even in times of crisis. In spite of having the same rights as others, including nondiscrimination in function of age, sometimes, elderlly people are subjected to a series of obstacles that complicates the full exercise of their rights and freedoms. |
