Conferencia; International Conference: Human Rights of older persons & non-discrimination; 2017

I shall share some of my reflections on the legal impact of the Inter-American Convention on Protecting the Human Rights of Older Persons. I will start by quoting the play ?El Frac Rojo? (The red tailcoat) by Argentinian playwright Carlos Gorostiza, where the main character is an old man who can only communicate through music, so he goes through many mishaps, as he cannot speak. My thoughts are related to this topic, with the silence that older persons live in and how now they are starting to break it, as they no longer need other persons or music tocommunicate.ARCHIVO DEL LIBRO COMPLETO MUY PESADO, VER LINK POR FAVOR.
