In order to protect and promote the human rights of older
persons and to eliminate the discrimination they face, including
in the field of healthcare, as well as to combat the stereotypes,
prejudices and bias against older persons that lie at the root of
such discrimination, the Assembly calls on the Committee of Ministers
to:
3.1 keep under review, as so
decided in 2019, the implementation of Recommendation CM/Rec(2014)2,
in particular with the aim of identifying and remedying existing
gaps in this field, considering in this context the desirability
and feasibility of a specific legal instrument at the European level
which would provide a framework for the protection of the human
rights of older persons;
3.2 consider preparing a recommendation on preventing and
combating ageism, following a similar approach to that of Recommendation CM/Rec(2019)1
of the Committee of Ministers to member States on preventing and
combating sexism;
3.3 be represented and participate actively in the ongoing
discussions in the United Nations Human Rights Council on developing
an international legally binding instrument on the rights of older
persons.
