AREVALO, Enrique Jorge. Legal protection for the people in vulnerable situations and respect for voluntary autonomy. Rev. IUS [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.36, pp.61-88. ISSN 1870-2147.

This work intends to reflect on the concept of vulnerability that transcends its connection with the situation of individual weakness or even collective weakness, without exclusion . It advocates a holistic understanding of the concept, remembering that every human being is essentially vulnerable. It tackles the longstanding exclusion of the most vulnerable subjects and the prolonged struggle in pursuit of their social inclusion. It also analyses the protection that Argentine criminal law offers to these people through the analysis of a judgement that presents the situation of circumvention for incapable persons. Particular attention is given to the position of the notary in respect of the value of his office, with regard to the discernment of licensors and the preventive role that comes with this authorization.

Palabras llave : Vulnerability; discrimination; equality; social inclusion; discernment.
