Le Saint-Siège à l'ONU: la fragilité n'efface pas la dignité des personnes âgées

In brief

Bishop Ettore Balestrero, the Holy See's permanent observer to the United Nations and other international organizations, told the 63rd ordinary session of the Council in Geneva that the fragility of older people does not erase their dignity.

Balestrero stated that dialogue, understanding, and support are necessary to ensure older people remain active members of society. He noted that these individuals should be able to both receive support and contribute to their communities.
