Abstract

Although there are many international treaties and conventions offering protection for generic human rights that implicitly refer to older persons, these relevant provisions are scattered, porous and lack of practical operability, which fail to provide explicit, tailored, comprehensive and binding protection to older persons. In addition, there are some soft law provisions that guide the application of law and add to the overall protection of older people. However none of the documents contains legally binding obligations. Therefore, the protection of the rights of the elderly must be formulated as the “hard law” which defines the responsibilities of the state and clarifies the implementation mechanism at the international and domestic level. In other words, a legal system ought to be established to comprehensively protect the rights of the elderly, which is just the Convention on the Rights of the Elderly. This article attempts to present a proposal to create the right system of the Convention, which represents the core of this potential international treaty.
人口老龄化权利体系的一般构建:老年人权利公约草案
虽然有许多提供一般人权保护的国际条约和公约含蓄地提到老年人,但这些有关规定分散、漏洞多、缺乏实际可操作性,未能为老年人提供明确、有针对性、全面和有约束力的保护。此外,还有一些软法律条款,指导法律的适用,并增加对老年人的整体保护。但是,这些文件都不包含具有法律约束力的义务。因此,老年人权利保护必须制定为“硬法”,明确国家的责任,明确国际和国内层面的实施机制。换句话说,应该建立一个法律体系来全面保护老年人的权利,这就是《老年人权利公约》。本文试图提出一项建议,以建立代表这一潜在国际条约核心的《公约》权利制度。
