Coming of age : focusing the human rights lens on older men and older women

Includes bibliographical references. / It is most appropriate to open an exploration of the human rights of older persons with the poignant words of Kofi Annan, then Secretary-General of the United Nations, in a statement to the Second World Assembly on Aging in Madrid: I turned 64 today. I therefore feel empowered to quote a Beatles' song that asks, on behalf of all older persons, and I quote: Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64? I trust the answer is yes, older people will be provided for, and yes, older people will be needed in the twenty-first century.
