Equal recognition before the law 2014, para. 45
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Interpreting article 12, paragraph 3, in the light of the right to live in the community (art. 19) means that support in the exercise of legal capacity should be provided through a community-based approach. States parties must recognize that communities are assets and partners in the process of learning what types of support are needed in the exercise of legal capacity, including raising awareness about different support options. States parties must recognize the social networks and naturally occurring community support (including friends, family and schools) of persons with disabilities as key to supported decision-making. This is consistent with the Convention's emphasis on the full inclusion and participation of persons with disabilities in the community.
