Human rights means to me unlimited retirement age providing you can prove you are able to do the job.
For pilots, it means a medical and a check ride.
For judges it should be re-election based on your past record as a judge. (as in the USA)
In Canada it seems you are appointed for life. You can practice long after you have become incompetent. (at least that appears to be the case here)
