Every Industrial Revolution has transformed our economic, social & political lives. Human relations are affected – no one is immune. The AI revolution is underway & can't be stopped. Hopefully, we'll harness it wisely.

A timely--and very welcomed!--message by @volker_turk in support of a dedicated convention on the rights of older persons.

We have much to learn from the knowledge & experience of #OlderPersons. Ensuring their rights & dignity are key to building resilient & inclusive societies

Governments must strengthen protection & make progress towards a dedicated convention on older persons.

Georgia is advancing the rights of persons with disabilities, moving away from the medical to a social model based on human rights and inclusion. This is a profound cultural shift and deserves support. 👇
