The San Jose Charter on the Rights of Older Persons

The final outcome of the III Intergovernmental Conference on Ageing in Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC)] that was held on May 2012 in San Jose, has produced an important international document on the rights of older persons.
The document, known as the
SAN JOSÉ CHARTER ON THE RIGHTS OF OLDER PERSONS IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
is yet another important step by the Latin America countries to be the leaders in promoting and advancing the rights of older persons via regional human rights instruments.
Here is the link to the full document:
