(New York Event) Fulfilling the Promises of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for Older Persons: Across Generations ( Commemorating the United Nations International Day of Older Persons 2023)
2 October 2023 @ 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM UTC-5
The celebration of the United Nations International Day of Older Persons is coming up on Monday, October 2nd. For those of you who registered to attend in person, we look forward to seeing you. If you will be following the event online Monday morning at 10am EDT, here is the link to UN Web TV:
Seventy-five years ago, this year, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, a monumental document in the history of human rights. Written by representatives from around the world with different legal, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds, it is the first document articulating the fundamental human rights that are meant to be universally protected. In recognition of this milestone, and looking to a future that delivers on the promise to ensure that all persons, including all older persons, fully enjoy their human rights and fundamental freedoms, the 33rd commemoration of the United Nations International Day of Older Persons will focus on the theme of “Fulfilling the Promises of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for Older Persons: Across Generations”.
