Summary

The original motivation to work on the rights of older persons came to the inter-American system from the Summit of Heads of State and Governments of the Americas, held in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, on 19 April 2009. Summits are encounters of heads of state and governments of the hemisphere comprised of independent countries in the Americas, including Cuba since 2015, with participation by international organisations and civil society, and are held to ‘define the agenda of the inter-American system, including issues regarding multilateral cooperation’.
