Hovedinnhold

In her presentation, Jill Marshall examines how human rights law, particularly the European Court of Human Rights, has developed the right to personal identity under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Building on previous work, she focuses on the Court’s case law relating to children, analyzing how personal identity is protected and interpreted. Marshall critiques the role of human rights law in shaping personal identities from birth and explores what the Court has achieved and could achieve in this area.
