At a ceremony being held at the United Nations in New York City, ten individuals are to be honoured this evening. Recipients of this prestigious recognition include Kofi Annan, Secretary General during the UN Second World Assembly on Ageing; Nelson Mandela, Former President of South Africa and Human Rights Activist; and Elie Wiesel, Nobel Laureate.
The ceremony is taking place to launch the ten year anniversary of the Second World Assembly on Ageing, which focused on incorporating the rapidly-growing elderly population into modern society through advocacy and social inclusion.
The event is being held held to coincide with the International Day of Older Persons (IDOP).
About the NGO Committee on Ageing, United Nations: “The New York NGO Committee on Ageing works collaboratively to promote and support a United Nations (UN) Convention for the Rights of Older Persons.
