The new report of the Secretary-General on the "Follow-up to the Second World Assembly on Ageing” focuses on two issues that have been singled out as critical to the well-being and human rights of older persons within the framework of both the second review and appraisal of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing and the working sessions of the Open-ended Working Group on Ageing, namely, addressing age-based discrimination and neglect, and abuse and violence.

The report also provides updated information on recent major policy developments in the regions, publications and civil society initiatives.
