TL;DR: When the goals and obligations of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) are taken as a benchmark, the public health systems of liberal states, including those states within the tradition of social liberalism, demonstrably fall short.
Abstract: It is perhaps a truism to state that the world, as it is presently furnished, is ill-suited to the needs of those with mental and physical impairments.1 Such impairments, whether they are caused by accident or by age, are a manifestation of our universally shared vulnerability. As such, these needs concern us all.2 But if we consider one of the most important rights questions engendered by these needs – namely the access to care and support for those who care for others – we can observe that this concern seems not to have been translated towards proper institutional arrangements.3 When we take the goals and obligations of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) as a benchmark, the public health systems of liberal states, including those states within the tradition of social liberalism, demonstrably fall short.4 As a result, persons who experience impairments – and their caretakers – are often bereft of proper participation in society

TL;DR: In this article, auteurs die Scholtens voorstelling van de subjectieve gewetensbeslissing in de rechtsvinding beamen are investigated.
Abstract: Over de gewetensbeslissing in het werk van Paul Scholten (1875-1946) lopen de opvattingen sterk uiteen. Er zijn auteurs die Scholtens voorstelling van de subjectieve gewetensbeslissing in de rechtsvinding beamen,1 er zijn er die haar problematisch vinden2 en er zijn auteurs die het belang ervan afzwakken en haar slechts een bijzaak vinden die afleidt van wat zij beschouwen als de ‘zakelijke’ kern van zijn rechtsmethodologie.3
