| Sumario: | Social and legal constructions about older persons are changing, as the absolute and relative number of older persons increases, not only in the regions most advanced in the demographic transition but also in Latin America and the Caribbean. This chapter assesses whether the Riffo-Salinas case of the Plurinational Constitutional Court of Bolivia constitutes a good practice for the inter-American system based on: the kind of legal constructions on older persons; the integration of the ad-hoc instrument available to the Inter-American system for the protection of the human rights of older persons, namely, the Inter-American Convention on the Protection of the Human Rights of Older Persons; the inclusion or exclusion of the Inter-American standards established by the Court and the Commission; and the degree to which it manages to be a multi-legal system, converging national and Inter-American norms. |
