In its decision 26/III of 5 July 2002, the Committee acknowledged that the Convention "is an important tool for addressing the specific issue of the human rights of older women."

In particular, the Committee recognized the need for statistical data, disaggregated by age and sex, in order to better assess the situation of older women.
