animals; their rights could be violated, they could even be killed with impunity. 9 Other philosophers, such as Martha Nussbaum, 10 Eva Kittay 11 and Anita Silvers, 12 tried to include persons with severe disabilities in a theory of justice, but could not overcome the obstacle presented by their perceived inability to make their own decisions. In these theories, persons with disabilities might deserve protection for other reasons, but they are not fully autonomous beings, their status is not equal to their fellow citizens. The lack of legal capacity of persons with severe disabilities remains a central obstacle to justifying their moral personhood. 13 As noted by Gerard Quinn, a long-standing advocate for disability rights, this is not simply a question of contract or legal status, it goes to the heart of whom we recognize as equal human beings. 14 Law is not the only cause of prejudices and stigma relating to the lack of rationality and cognitive skills of persons with disabilities, but greatly contributes to it. A legal system recognizing their abilities and validating them as autonomous decision-makers would treat them as equal citizens, subjects, not objects of the law. To achieve this change of status is the aim of this dissertation. A. The existing landscape of legal capacity law9

“…This trend to some extent explains its privileged role in the Asian Development Bank in competition with the AIIB. 91 At the same time, owing to the growing influence of China over the region, small Asian economies are more likely to deepen their economic relations with China. As discussed above, this kind of economic interplay with the major security providers can simultaneously advance their own security goals at lower costs and ease potential confrontations between them.…”

“…96 The United Nations Charter clearly provides for the use of force necessary to 'maintain or restore international peace and security' when authorized by the Security Council. 100 This lack of agreement leads to one of two consequences: inactivity and cries of Rwanda being repeated (the cases like Darfur and Zimbabwe) on the one hand and arguably morally legitimate, but illegal military interventions in for example Yugoslavia (by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation), Liberia, and Sierra Leone (by the Economic Community of West African States) on the other. However, as the High-level Panel notes '[t]he Security Council so far has been neither very consistent nor very effective in dealing with these cases, very often acting too late, too hesitantly or not at all'.…”

Eve Massingham is an International Humanitarian Law Officer with the Australian Red Cross. She has completed studies in law, international law and international development. AbstractThe Responsibility to Protect is being touted as a new approach to protecting populations from mass atrocities. Certainly it would be encouraging to believe that an end to genocides, large scale ethnic cleansing and large scale loss of life were within humanity's reach. However, whilst the holistic approach of the doctrine is to be commended, the legality of the proposal requires further analysis. This paper specifically addresses the evolution of the legality of humanitarian intervention and looks at whether the Responsibility to Protect doctrine advances the legality of the use of force for humanitarian ends.
