Abstract

This article aims to carry out an analysis of the first advisory opinion of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) issued last 10 April 2019 in the area of surrogacy and its possible effects in the Italian legal system. Firstly, the article will carry out a reconstruction of the procedures in order to request the opinion, highlighting the potential system criticalities. Secondly, the questions submitted to the ECHR and its decisions will be evaluated, outlining the legal issues concerning the respect of the margin of appreciation, recognition of civil status documents produced abroad and the limit of international public order.
