Description
The thesis argues that article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – the right to legal capacity on an equal basis with others – requires both support for decision-making and decision-making by substitutes as a last resort, to uphold the indivisible human rights of adults with cognitive disability. In doing so, it applies a novel interpretive lens to the convention to explain how the values of autonomy, dignity and equality are to be understood to ensure the civil, social, political, economic and cultural personhood of all adults with cognitive disability.
Impact and interest:

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
