How they are granted rights under Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is an important issue to scholars and students promoting disability rights. This authoritative work will be a welcome resource.The right to make decisions is important for every individual. It allows us to express ourselves discover our likes and dislikes and lead our lives in the way we desire. People with cognitive disability have historically been denied this right in many different ways sometimes informally by family members or carers and other times formally by a courtroom or other legal authority. This book provides a discussion of the importance of decisionmaking and the ways in which it is currently denied to people with cognitive disability. It identifies the human right to equal recognition before the law as the key to ensuring the equal right to decisionmaking of people with cognitive disabilities. Looking to the future it also provides a roadmap to achieve such equality.1. Theoretical and historical foundations of the right to equal recognition before the law: 2. The meaning of the right: interpreting Article 12 of the CRPD: 3. The significance of Article 12 of the CRPD: legal capacity as legal personhood and the importance of autonomy: 4.

Case law and the right to legal capacity: 7. Right to legal capacity in all aspects of life: 8. The nature of the support paradigm for people with cognitive disabilities: 9. Good practice in supports for the exercise of legal capacity: 10. Future directions in research and the pragmatics of change:
