Abstract

This contribution analyses the recent judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in Paparrigopoulos v. Greece and examines its implications for cross-border surrogacy in Europe. This judgment is significant because it sets new standards in terms of the concept of discrimination between parents under Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights read in conjunction with Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life). The Court held that there was no reasonable relationship of proportionality between the preclusion of the applicant's exercise of parental responsibility and the aim pursued, which had been to protect the best interests of children born out of wedlock. Finally, this case note critiques the Court's findings and examines its likely impact on the parental care of the child, who was born and remains unmarried by his parents.
