Paradiso et Campanelli

Vita familiare e maternità surrogata nella sentenza definitiva della corte europea dei diritti umani sul caso Paradiso et Campanelli

On 24 January 2017 the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights issued the final judgment on the case Paradiso and Campanelli v. Italy, concerning the removal of a child born abroad by surrogacy from its intended parents. Differently from the previous judgment of 27 January 2015, the Grand Chamber held that there was no breach of article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Considering that the Court reached such conclusion mainly by denying the existence of a family life, I submit that several shortcomings flow from the relevant reasoning followed by the Court.
