Korea, experiencing the most rapid population aging, is faced with the increase of elderly human rights violations such as elderly abuse. Elderly human rights violations are aggravated by dementia patients’ weakness. In this paper, we evaluate the new adult guardianship system in Korea in terms of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities(CRPD) for the protection of human rights of the elderly suffering from dementia.
I seek the possibility of the protection of the elderly suffering from dementia through supported decision-making based on the system of guardians agreement (continuing power of attorney contracts). The CRPD and the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities have consistently and strongly emphasized full legal capacity of all persons with disabilities including those with physical, mental or intellectual impairments and the change from substitute decision-making to supported decision-making. From this perspective, two consistent statutory guardianship types (full adult guardianship and limited guardianship) do not meet the criteria for the protection of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in the CRPD. The full adult guardianship may limit the legal capacity to conduct legal acts, except for the transaction of daily commodities. With limited guardianship, the Family Court may order certain legal acts that require the consent of a limited guardian and, in this case, a legal act performed by the ward without consent may be annulled. However, the guardianship agreement system, as an alternative system of consistent statutory guardianship, meets the requests of the CRPD in that it is based on self-determination and there is no limit of legal capacity. The guardianship agreement system is more suitable for the protection of the elderly suffering from dementia, which progresses slowly. This paper considers the institutional measures to take advantage of guardianship agreement.
