Description: In this case judgement, regarding children's right to a birth certificate, the Court found a violation of Article 8. The applicant, born in Mexico, repatriated to Spain after an earthquake. Despite attempts by his mother, his birth was not registered upon arrival in Spain, due to the destruction of birth records caused by the earthquake. He was issued an ID card only at 21, and thus, the Court determined that the Spanish authorities had failed to fulfill a positive obligation to assist the applicant in obtaining documentation, and that the failure to do so resulted in a violation of Article 8 ECHR.
