Draft Law to Protect the Elderly of Lebanon
Following the comprehensive legal review which was done by IDRAAC and several focus groups, workshops and consultative meetings with relevant stakeholders, a draft law was developed by IDRAAC which focuses on the protection of the elderly population in Lebanon.
The proposed law allows the elderly or people with symptoms which are caused by aging to have precautionary measures before their health deteriorated. The new law allows a person to identify a person of trust while he/she still has full mental capacity to be able to take predefined decisions on behalf of the older person in case he/she looses his/her mental capacity.
