Side-Event on NGO Participation: Advancing the UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons
Join ILC Canada and global civil society partners in Geneva during the 2nd Session of the UN Open-ended Working Group (IGWG) on the Human Rights of Older Persons. This side-event highlights the critical role of NGO participation in shaping a dedicated, legally binding UN instrument. Through oral interventions, written submissions, and collaborative dialogue—with a specific focus on strengthening the Preamble—we invite stakeholders to unite in advancing robust international human rights protections that guarantee dignity, equality, and agency for older persons worldwide.
