In the international human rights framework up until recently, elderly people's human rights had received little attention. However, discrimination, violence, poverty, and marginalization are only a few of the many human rights issues that older people must contend with. Several "soft law" measures, such as declarations, principles, and action plans, exist to safeguard the rights of senior citizens and other existing human rights instruments apply to them just as they do to every other human being. However, it has been argued that these measures are insufficient to address the specific problems faced by the segment of society. This research paper reflects the different conventions, treaties, and other legislative provision which are generally talking about the rights of the elders from an international perspective.
