LATEST NEWS RECOGNISING PERSONHOOD

“…The twenty-first century has already been characterised by substantive shifts in theory and law on legal personhood. There have been profound legal commitments to the full personhood of disabled people, dramatic new applications of personhood to natural entities such as rivers, and ongoing debates on the legal personhood of animals, artificial intelligence, and corporations and their public interest responsibilities. These shifts present an opportunity to re-examine our understanding of legal personhood. We may be able to move away from the white, European, able-bodied, cis-gender male approach to legal personhood that has dominated much of the world.”
