Conclusion and Future Directions.This book provides a comprehensive human rights analysis of key areas of law affecting older persons, including legal capacity; elder abuse; accommodation and aged care; healthcare; employment; financial security, retirement, and estate planning; and social and cultural participation. The research identifies individual autonomy and participation in decision-making as fundamental to a human rights-based approach to elder law. The book argues that a paradigm shift must occur away from traditional medical and charity-based understandings of ‘old age’ to instead acknowledge older persons as active holders of enforceable rights. The book argues that a Convention on the Rights of Older Persons is an essential tool in achieving this, but that even without a dedicated treaty there is much to be gained from a human rights-based approach. Significantly, because the issues arising in ‘old age’ are often the culmination of experiences occurring throughout the life course, a human rights-based approach to elder law must begin with a commitment to human rights for people of all ages.Human rightsConflict of lawsConflict of lawsAgingHuman Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19020Private International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002Aginghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X11000Human rights.Conflict of laws.Conflict of laws.Aging.Human Rights.Private International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law .Aging.344.032682Lewis Bridgetauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut792354Purser Kellyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMackie Kirstyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910416144203321The Human Rights of Older Persons2129774UNINA
