La Santa Sede all'Onu: la dignità degli anziani non svanisce con la fragilità

In brief

Archbishop Ettore Balestrero, the Holy See's permanent observer to the United Nations in Geneva, told the 63rd ordinary session of the Council that the dignity of older people does not disappear due to fragility.

Balestrero stated that society needs dialogue, understanding, and support to ensure older people remain active members of the community. He noted that they should be able to both receive care and contribute to society.
