Elder law and its subject: the contextualised ageing individual

“…Notwithstanding, law is known to make room for considerable interpretation and a deep understanding of the realities certainly helps to support legal argumentation, whether de lege lata or de lege ferenda. Here, one can draw attention to the legal method called 'rewriting judgments' (Mantovani et al, 2018) as well as to the search for legal principles underpinning certain rights of older persons (Dabove, 2013(Dabove, , 2016.…”

“…Despite its manifold development in recent decades, elder law is still often approached in terms of new bodies of law, special laws or even 'a body' of law. We can take Latin American development as an example: despite a nuanced discussion on law as a cultural construct, Dabove, for instance, discusses the 'to be or not to be' of elder law in terms of a specially institutionalised 'legal branch', including tools and institutions, principles, rules, laws, judicial practices and/or specific courts of the matter, and raises the question of human rights for older persons in terms of different rights focusing certain principles central to elder law (Dabove, 2012(Dabove, , 2013(Dabove, , 2016.

Dabove (2015Dabove ( , 2017 puoltaa vanhuusoikeuden vahvistamista ja vanhusten ihmisoikeuksien säätämisen tarvetta, koska nykylait ovat ageistisia ja lisäävät haavoittuvuutta. Erillistä vanhuusoikeutta kritisoivia äänenpainoja edustaa esimerkiksi Hall (2009), joka pitää erilliselle ryhmälle erityisen lain oikeuttamista ongelmallisena paternalismin ja ageismin takia.…”

Derechos humanos de las personas mayores en la nueva Convención Americana y sus implicancias bioéticas

“…Pero además aborda el análisis de las herramientas jurídicas que permiten legítimamente la intervención y restitución de la autonomía, libertad, igualdad, participación o dignidad dañadas en el caso. Por ello, en este marco se consideran tanto los principios y reglas, institutos, relaciones jurídicas, derechos y obligaciones, como los sistemas de protección y las garantías, en cuanto se vinculan con el fenómeno demográfico del envejecimiento y de la vejez de cada persona, en particular (Dabove, 2002(Dabove, , 2013aDabove y Prunotto Laborde 2006;Frolik y Kaplan, 2003;Dayton y Kimberley 2013.…”
