Undule Mwakasungula is a 'retired' human rights activist in Malawi.
 As an activist, he served as the chairperson for the Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC).
 He is also the former director for the Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation (HCRR), a network of Church Institutions, Human Rights NGOs and the Law Society of Malawi that serves to work together in areas of human rights, advocacy and information sharing.
 HRCC and Mwakasungula was one of the primary organizers of the July 20th, 2011 Malawian protests.
 He has been a critical opponent of the Bingu wa Mutharika administration, likening it to Zimbabwe's current administration under Robert Mugabe, "We are almost Zimbabwe, both in the economy and in political governance."
The proposed Convention on the Rights of Older Persons is regarded as the next major United Nations human rights treaty.
 The proposed treaty will seek to remedy the fragmented human rights structure for older persons, and will focus on reaffirming critical human rights which are of concern to the elderly.
 The focus of the treaty will be persons over 60 years of age, which is a growing demographic worldwide due to increased population ageing.
 The treaty follows from the success of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child which has seen near universal acceptance since 1989.
 Where the UNCRC focuses on the rights of younger persons, the UNCROP will address those who form the older portion of society, who according to United Nations reports, are becoming increasingly vulnerable as a group without applicable normative standards of Human Rights Law.
 Support for a Convention is becoming increasingly popular, as human rights groups including the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), HelpAge International, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, the International Labour Organization, and many other NGOs and states have expressed support for a universal instrument.
 The need for a treaty has arisen due to issues surrounding demographic changes from population ageing.
 This has led to significant interest in how to best ensure the well being of older persons.
 Among the rights issues faced by older persons are their rights against ageist discrimination, and the rights to participation.
 The debate surrounding the convention focuses on the implementation and safeguarding of these rights, to set normative standards of human rights for older persons.
 One substantive issue is the conception of elder abuse as between individuals.
 Individual relationships generally fall outside of current human rights law, which seeks to present standards of relations between states and individuals.
 Therefore, it has been suggested that the proposed human rights convention for older persons ought to be drafted as an anti-discrimination convention.
 However, This would not be consistent with other multilateral human rights conventions such as the ICCPR and ICESCR which set normative standards.

The Human Rights Review Tribunal is a statutorily established institution fundamental to the application, determination and up holding of human rights in New Zealand.
 The tribunal is established under the New Zealand Human Rights Act 1993.
 The Human Rights Review Tribunal is one of two key human rights bodies in New Zealand and provides the mechanism for adjudication and resolution of human rights issues.
 The jurisdiction of the tribunal extends to cover matters from domestic human rights law, principles given in the Privacy Act 1993 and the Health and Disability Commissioner Act 1994.
 Complaints may be bought by the Director of Human Rights or where it is deemed not appropriate to do so, a citizen may proceed with a claim at their own cost.
 The tribunal has the power to grant a wide range of remedies and in making a determination, is not required to give effect to technicalities but rather, the substantial merits of the case.
 The Human Rights Review tribunal also holds special status within the array of tribunals in New Zealands domestic legal system, with a far more significant legal jurisdiction than other inter partes tribunals.
 This special status reflects the fact that decisions of the tribunal can have substantial political and societal implications.
