Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCPD) recognises the equal right to exercise legal capacity without discrimination based on disability, and obliges state parties to ensure access to the support a person may require in exercising it. Since its adoption, there has been a growing body of work critically examining laws which restrict or remove the exercise of legal capacity based on disability. Traditionally, this work has focused on constitutional and legal standards regulating the exercise of legal capacity. However, reforming legal capacity seems to be an all-encompassing enterprise, which requires deeper attention to be paid to its historical, social and legal foundations, as well as the wide array of institutions that it permeates and their internal coherence. Legal Capacity, Disability and Human Rights comprises chapters by key legal scholars and practitioners in the field of legal capacity, disability and human rights from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa. The book aims to achieve three main goals to address the aforementioned issues.

These practices include legal reform processes and landmark judicial decisions. Finally, the book examines emerging and persistent legal questions and challenges in conceiving, designing and implementing more comprehensive reforms in legal capacity regimes, to ensure consistency with the aims of Article 12 of the UNCPD. …
