Abstract
ABSTRACT Andrew Byrnes’s work has furthered the critical analysis of older persons’ human rights within domestic and global contexts. This article examines his significant contribution to scholarly and advocacy discourse in older persons’ human rights and the impact of that work. By reviewing Byrnes’s work across the last decade, this article locates his contribution within the field. The article observes that Byrnes’s approach provides options to reignite a stalled debate and provides a necessary catalyst for re-conceptualising ageing and human rights towards a convention on the rights of older persons.
期刊介绍：
The Australian Journal of Human Rights (AJHR) is Australia’s first peer reviewed journal devoted exclusively to human rights development in Australia, the Asia-Pacific region and internationally. The journal aims to raise awareness of human rights issues in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region by providing a forum for scholarship and discussion. The AJHR examines legal aspects of human rights, along with associated philosophical, historical, economic and political considerations, across a range of issues, including aboriginal ownership of land, racial discrimination and vilification, human rights in the criminal justice system, children’s rights, homelessness, immigration, asylum and detention, corporate accountability, disability standards and free speech.
