The ABA Commission on Law and Aging is a leader in developing the field of elder law. However, it is an American professional organization. Nevertheless, in recent years, the commission has adopted a vision regarding the importance of international elder law as part of its agenda to promote rights, status and legal power of older persons. In recent years, the commission added an 'international" representative to its board, and has been involved in bringing the American perspective to international initiatives. Finally, it has recently added to its web-site a page regarding resources in international elder law. For more details see below:
