Since the 2002 Madrid Plan of Action for Ageing, the concept of developing a Convention on the Rights of Older Persons has gained momentum within the United Nations among Civil Society organizations. The session will examine its potential intersections and unique features compared with the dispositions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in matters of accessibility and enabling environments from a policy, technology, and advocacy perspective.
