DUNAJ/ŽENEVA 18. november (Urad visokega komisarja ZN za človekove pravice (OHCHR)) - Neodvisna strokovnjakinja Združenih narodov, Rosa Kornfeld-Matte, je na uradnem obisku v Sloveniji med 17. in 21. novembrom 2014, z namenom ocenitve stanja človekovih pravic starejših oseb v državi.
"Starejše osebe v Sloveniji so pomemben in hitro rastoč segment družbe," je dejala gospa Kornfeld-Matte. "Ta obisk mi bo omogočil razpravo o sprejetih usmeritvah slovenske vlade na področju zagotovljanja aktivnega in učinkovitega sodelovanje starejših oseb v polnem spektru družbenega življenja."
"Še posebej želim poizvedeti več o novo zasnovani strategiji Solidarnost, sožitje in kakovostno staranje prebivalstva," je dodala.
Neodvisna strokovnjaka je poudarila, da je obisk priložnost, da se identificirajo tako najboljše prakse kot tudi pomanjkljivosti izvajanja obstoječe zakonodaje na področju spodbujanja in zaščite pravic starejših oseb.
Kornfeld-Mattova, ki je v Sloveniji na povabilo vlade, bo potovala v Ljubljano ter, med drugim, obiskala regiji Gorenjsko in Primorsko, kjer bodo potekale razprave z vladnimi predstavniki, nevladnimi organizacijami in drugimi, ki se ukvarjajo s tematiko starejših oseb.
Ob zaključku obiska neodvisne strokovnjakinje, je predvidena izmenjava predhodnih ugotovitev z mediji na novinarski konferenci v Ljubljani, in sicer v petek, 21. novembra, 2014 ob 14:00 uri (še ni potrjeno), v Grand Hotelu Union.
Neodvisna strokovnjakinja bo septembra 2015 predstavila Svetu ZN za človekove pravice v celovitem poročilu svoje ugotovitve in priporočila o obisku države.
