A/HRC/39/50 in place in an equitable manner, including during rapid urbanization and gentrification. 86. Equitable distribution of resources and services is essential to ensuring that older persons can enjoy their right to an adequate standard of living. That requires active inclusion through the adoption of positive measures to ensure older persons have equal access to housing, work, social security, health care, physical and social infrastructure and other forms of support. 87. The Independent Expert stresses the need to foster partnerships between multisector stakeholders, including local authorities, public health professionals, architects, housing providers, community organizations, universities, the private sector and older persons themselves, to develop innovative and inclusive responses to urban regeneration. 88. The Independent Expert stresses that the lack of a comprehensive and integrated international legal instrument to promote and protect the rights and dignity of older persons has significant practical implications, given that: (a) existing regulations do not cohere, let alone conceptualize regulatory principles to guide public action and the policies of Governments; (b) general human rights standards do not consider the recognition of third-generation specific rights in favour of older persons; (c) it is difficult to clarify the obligations of States with respect to older persons; (d) procedures for monitoring human rights treaties generally ignore older persons; (e) current instruments do not make the issues of ageing visible enough, which precludes the education of the population and with it, the effective integration of older persons. 18
