Abstract
Se presenta la necesidad de configurar una declaración sobre los derechos de las personas mayores que pueda vincularse a una legislación con el fin de garantizar la protección de las mismas. Se ha constatado la existencia de determinadas lagunas en el reconocimiento de los derechos de las personas mayores a pesar de las normas internacionales y nacionales adoptadas sobre sus derechos humanos por el hecho de ser personas entre las que se haya la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos de 1948.
Las personas mayores han pasado de ser respetados por su edad y posición a una situación de exclusión social y desprotección legal. Se debe abordar de forma institucional la configuración de una carta de derechos de las personas mayores que eviten las constantes conductas que se infringen a las personas mayores dañando su dignidad como personas. Actualmente tienen dificultad en conseguir que se respete su participación y carecen de las condiciones de igualdad que disfrutan el resto de ciudadanos para reclamar y hacer valer sus derechos.
The need to set a statement relating to the elderly’s rights that could be connected to a legislation with the aim to guarantee the protection of the former, is presented herein. The existence of some omissions within the recognition of the elderly’s rights has been confirmed despite the international and national laws adopted regarding their human rights based on the fact that they are people included under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. Elderly people have passed from being respected due to their age and position, to a situation of social exclusion and a lack of legal protection. The setting of a bill of rights regarding the elderly shall be addressed institutionally in order to prevent the continuous acts infringed against elderly people causing damage to their dignity as human beings. Currently it is difficult for them to achieve that their participation shall be respected and they lack the conditions of equality that the rest of the citizens enjoy to claim and enforce their rights.
