DABOVE, María Isolina. Elder Law in Times of Pandemic. Rev. Fac. Der. [online]. 2020, n.49, e110. Epub 01-Nov-2020. ISSN 0797-8316. https://doi.org/10.22187/rfd2020n49a10.
Different pandemics have plagued humanity throughout history, such as smallpox, cholera, yellow fever or influenza A. However, recently, and unexpectedly and abruptly, a new pandemic, that of Covid-19, emerged. With global aging expanding, the number of older people at risk is significant.
This paper analyzes the legal tools that the “Inter-American Convention on the Protection of the Human Rights of Older Persons” makes available for the construction of responses consistent with the rule of law, even in times of exception.
