Anna Arstein-Kerslake

The Right to Legal Personhood of Marginalised Groups (eBook, ePUB)

Achieving Equal Recognition Before the Law for All

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that equal recognition before the law is the key to achieving social equality for marginalised groups. It examines how the law denies equal recognition to members of marginalised groups through denials of their legal personhood and legal agency and how we can use human rights law to address these wrongs.
