    This document contains the text of a 1988 UN Resolution on Implementation of the International Plan of Action on Aging and Related Activities. The 1988 resolution recalls previous UN resolutions and other efforts to implement the Plan of Action. The General Assembly then notes the Secretary-General's report on aging and welcomes the UN's system-wide approach to issues of aging as well as the establishment of the International Institute on Aging (IIA) in Malta.
