Description: The case concerned the refusal to grant legal recognition in France to a parent-child relationship that had been legally established in the United States between a couple, who were both French nationals, and their children who had born as a result of surrogacy treatment and held US nationality only. The Court, considering the importance of nationality as part of a child's identity as well as the best interests principle, held that there had been a violation of the children's right to private life under Article 8.
