Ministry of Health:
UN working group on ageing
The Open-Ended Working Group on Ageing was established by the General Assembly by
resolution 65/182 on 21 December 2010. The working group considers the existing international
framework of the human rights of older persons and identify possible gaps and how
best to address them, including by considering, as appropriate, the feasibility of
further instruments and measures.
I attended the working group in 2013, 2014 and 2018. In that year I gave a presentation
on what the Netherlands is doing in the fields of long-term care and palliative care.
