Documento de proyecto de la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL)
según lo publicado por los Naciones Unidas, noviembre de 2010
"Envejecimiento y derechos humanos: situación y perspectivas de protección"
En la publicación, se desarrollan en primer lugar los modelos conceptuales y teóricos que han servido de base para el abordaje de los asuntos de las personas de edad en la agenda académica y política en general. A continuación se brinda un panorama general de las normas relacionadas con la promoción y protección de los derechos de las personas mayores, tanto a nivel internacional como regional. Junto con ello, se analizan las legislaciones nacionales vigentes en América Latina para la protección de los derechos de las personas de edad. Luego se identifican los argumentos que, desde la perspectiva regional, justifican la adopción de una convención internacional sobre los derechos de las personas mayores, así como los contenidos mínimos que podría incluir. Por último, se proponen medidas que contribuyan a ampliar la protección de los derechos en la vejez.
Project Document from the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) as published by the United Nations, March 2011
"Ageing and the protection of human rights: current situation and outlook"
First, the publication develops the conceptual and theoretical models that have served as a basis to address the issues of older persons on the general academic and political agenda and then provides a general panorama of the rules related to the promotion and protection of the rights of older persons, both at the international as well as regional level. Also, existing national legislation for the protection of the rights of older persons in Latin America and the Caribbean are analyzed. Arguments are then identified that, from the Latin American and Caribbean perspective, justify the approval of an international convention on the rights of older persons, as well as the minimum contents that it should include. Finally, measures are proposed to promote the approval of this convention from the regional perspective.
