Executive Secretariat for Integral Development (SEDI)
The OAS Member States, through successive resolutions of the General
Assembly since the year 2009, have reaffirmed the need for an
inter-American instrument to protect the rights of the elderly. To this
end, a Working Group has been established under the Permanent Council of
the OAS which has conducted a diagnostic report on the situation of
older people on the Continent, and the effectiveness of existing binding
universal and regional instruments for the protection of their rights.
The report highlights important figures showing that the current
population of people over 60 years in the Americas is approximately 106
million, and by 2050 it will increase to 310 million, which will have a
major impact on the economies of Member States. The American States have
also highlighted the need to develop standards and more specific
regional technical rules on areas of human rights to encompass specific
policies, and plans to achieve effective protection of the elderly.
The Executive Secretariat for Integral Development, through the
Department of Social Inclusion, functions as a technical secretariat of
the Working Group, in close coordination with institutions of proven
experience in the field (such as ECLAC, PAHO, UN-DESA and UNFPA) and
contributes to the process, together with civil society and member
states on initiatives towards disseminating and raising awareness of the
importance of the issue, as well as the promotion of good public
policies for the protection of human rights of older persons.
Objectives
To promote the social inclusion of older people, with a vision of the
older person as a contributor to the development of member states and a
subject of rights, with a focus on intergenerational solidarity.
The specific objectives of the Department in this issue include:
· Provide technical assistance, as Technical Secretariat,
the Working Group on the Protection of Human Rights of Older Persons of
the Committee on Juridical and Political Affairs, pursuant to the
mandate of resolutions AG/RES 2654 (XLI-O/11) and AG/RES. 2726
(XLII-O/12)
· Promote the mainstreaming the issue in the areas of work
of the Organization ·
· Promote regional cooperation by identifying best
practices for designing public policies addressing the specific needs of
older people and encouraging their active participation in the
development process within Member States, in the context of both
regional and universal instruments on human rights as well as creating
institutional synergies among international and national stakeholders
across civil society and academia
