dignity and to continue to participate in their societies as citizens with full rights”. It has three priority directions: older persons and development, advancing health and well-being into old age and ensuring enabling and supportive environments. The Plan seeks to achieve these aims by promoting the active participation of older persons in society in its member states. The contribution of the Plan towards an International Convention on the Rights of Older Persons can be seen in the placement of older people into the general context of international human rights law, establishing the groundwork for older persons to be seen as a protected group. It is the first UN document in which UN member states reaffirm their commitment “protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the right to development (…) to eliminating all forms of discrimination, including age discrimination. The Plan is, however, no internationally legally binding instrument. The implementation of the recommendations of MIPAA is reviewed every 5 years, but there is no obligation for states to report on the implementation of MIPAA and its Regional Implementation Strategies at national level.

international framework of the human rights of older persons and identify possible gaps and how best to address them. The OEWGA forms the primary forum for debate as to the adoption of a multilateral human rights treaty regarding the human rights of older persons, as it focuses on the issues faced by older persons and recognizes gaps in the existing human rights framework. The OEWGA has had 12 sessions as of April 2022, and each of these sessions has aimed to clarify issues surrounding older persons' human rights and provide assistance to member states in their obligations under the Madrid Plan. Before each session the OEWGA invites member states, civil society organisations and national human rights institutions to contribute inputs to the session’s themes. In 2016, the Chair of the OEWGA listed 14 issues/focus areas, suggested by civil society, for discussion during the sessions (two per session). In 2017, it was further decided that in addition to substantive inputs on two themes per session, normative content for the development of the Convention should also be delivered.

resolution, the Human Rights Council requests the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to present a report on international legal standards and obligations in relation to older persons’ human rights in advance of the 49th session of the HRC in 2022. The High Commissioner concludes her report in saying, “the current international framework provides fragmented and inconsistent coverage of the human rights of older persons in law and practice and that there is a need to move expeditiously towards developing and adopting a coherent, comprehensive and integrated human rights framework on older persons, while further integrating older persons’ concerns into the work of existing mechanisms.“ Also pursuant to resolution 48/3 of the Human Rights Council, a multi-stakeholder meeting to discuss the High Commissioner’s report will be held in 2022.

discrimination, exclusion and constraints on the legal capacity, autonomy and independent living of older people. Existing human rights violations have been further exacerbated and put on the spotlight by the COVID-19 pandemic. Older people have been denied access to health services and became prone to physical and social isolation. The stigmatisation of older people and ageist images of older persons have also become more evident. The debate surrounding the convention focuses on the implementation and safeguarding of older persons’ human rights aiming to set normative standards of human rights for older persons in an international legally binding instrument. An underlying common factor and root cause of many of human rights violations experienced by older persons, along with its ubiquitous, prevalent, and surreptitious nature, is

human rights system as it relates to the human rights of older persons, as recognised by the High Commissioner for Human Rights in her 2022 report. In addition to the 2012 Analytical Outcome Paper on the normative standards in international law in relation to older persons submitted by OHCHR to the third working session of the Open-Ended Working Group on Ageing in August 2012 and an update of this study, prepared in 2021, other UN agencies, special mandate holders of the OHCHR, national human rights institutions and civil society organisations have found that the current international human rights framework does not sufficiently protect older people’s rights.
220:″There is no legally binding instrument to standardize and protect the rights of older persons... The argument is that the universal nature of international instruments should include the elderly. We all know that this does not happen because we live in an imperfect world. If the world were perfect we would not need any convention, and there is no discrimination. This is why the government of Argentina... support the need for a convention to promote, protect and ensure the full enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms, ensuring its implementation through a binding instrument″ 236:
create a legal framework that defined their rights." A similar position was taken by HelpAge International, which submitted a substantial report on age discrimination to the first session of the OEWGA, and concluded that a single instrument was needed to amalgamate the principles of older person's rights into one convention. As a result, the notion of a treaty has received support as it would set normative standards of human rights for older persons, in order to supplement the Madrid Plan, though it was not universally supported. Non-Government organisations such as

Individual relationships generally fall outside of current human rights law, which seeks to present standards of relations between states and individuals. Therefore, it has been suggested that the proposed human rights convention for older persons ought to be drafted as an anti-discrimination convention. However, this would not be consistent with other multilateral human rights conventions such as the 138:

In the most recent session of OEWGA in April 2022, an increasing number of UN Member States took note of the gaps in the existing international human rights system. The fundamental rights affirmed by the proposed treaty would be extensions of those secured by other multilateral treaties, though with a focus on specific issues faced by older persons.
