The Analysis of the Adult Guardianship Laws from a Comparative-Law Perspective and the Recommendations for the Japanese Law Reform

我们从比较法的角度认真研究了日本成人监护法的问题，特别是集中精力研究了被监护人丧失投票资格的问题。作为这项研究的成果，我们出版了《成年人监护和残疾人权利公约》(Sanseido Publg.这本书对东京地方法院2013年3月14日的裁决产生了巨大的影响。根据该决定，从公职选举法第11条第1款的投票取消资格名单中，将该选区删除。我们还研究了成年监护人是否有权同意病房的医疗。

We have assiduously studied the problems of the Japanese Adult Guardianship Law from a comparative-law perspective and especially concentrated our efforts on the study of the problem of the disqualification of the ward from voting. As the achievement of the study, we have published “THE ADULT GUARDIANSHIP AND CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES” (Sanseido Publg. Co. 2012) and the book has had enormous influence on the March 14, 2013 decision of the Tokyo District Court. As a result of the decision, form the voting disqualification list of the Paragraph 1 of Section11 of the Public Office Election Law, the ward is to be deleted. We have also studied whether the adult guardian should have the right to consent to the medical treatment of the ward.
