Overcoming age-based discrimination against older persons

Parliamentary Assembly1. Referring to its Resolution 2592 (2025) “Overcoming age-based discrimination against older persons”,the Parliamentary Assembly congratulates the Committee of Ministers for adopting Recommendation CM/Rec(2014)2 to the member States on the promotion of human rights of older persons.

3. In order to protect and promote the human rights of older persons and to eliminate the discriminationthey face, including in the field of healthcare, as well as to combat the stereotypes, prejudices and biasagainst older persons that lie at the root of such discrimination, the Assembly calls on the Committee ofMinisters to:

3.1. as so decided in 2019, keep under review 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 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.
