Article 1 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) defines Persons with disabilities to include, ‘those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments’. Article 12 of the Convention further provides that ‘States Parties shall recognize that persons with disabilities enjoy legal capacity on equal basis with others’. The legal capacity enunciated in Article 12 is two-fold, to wit, an entitlement to the right of making autonomous decisions and the ability to exercise such a right.
