In order to fulfil its obligations under Article 12 of Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, on 2018, Peru reformed its Civil Code. Through this reform, Peru abolished guardianship and created a system of supports and safeguards. Within three years after the Reform, this paper hypothesizes that, the change is not real since substitute decision-making remains as the rule. For that, the paper systematizes and analyses the judgments on support appointments in order to determine its compatibility with international standards.

Keywords : Legal capacity; person with disability; Peruvian Civil Code; support decision making; safeguards.
