Objectives: This study aims to show the international mechanisms for protecting the legal rights of the elderly, who are the elderly in international law, what are the rights of the elderly concerning the international conventions and United Nations declarations, and the extent to which international legal texts are mandatory in the face of Member States and United Nations mechanisms in maintaining those rules.
Methods: The study adopted the descriptive and analytical approach to the analysis of international texts and outputs issued by various international forums concerning older people.
Results: This study has reached several results that the international efforts made in the field of the elderly rights do not level up to a high level and that the international conferences and meetings related to this subject are very few and that most of the rights have been secondarily stipulated in conferences and meetings that are not specialized in the rights of the elderly.
Conclusions: This study concluded with a set of recommendations that the rights of the elderly are constantly improving, but they are not within the expectations. The international community must develop a basic model law to be circulated to different countries or to benefit from to strengthen the rights of the elderly within countries.
