Direitos Humanos: Santa Sé defende dignidade dos idosos, «membros ativos da sociedade», nas Nações Unidas

In brief

The Holy See defended the dignity of older people as active members of society during a presentation at the United Nations. Ettore Balestrero, the permanent observer of the Holy See to the United Nations and other international organizations, encouraged dialogue, understanding, and support to ensure older people remain integrated into their communities.

Balestrero stated that dependency and fragility do not deny or obscure human dignity, but rather represent a manifestation of the human condition.
