abstract:
The paper aims at analysing how the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights
in Oliari and Others v. Italy significantly expanded the interpretation of the ECHR
principles concerning same-sex couples. In this groundbreaking case, the Court asserted
that the absence of a legal framework recognising homosexual relationships violates the
right to respect for private and family life (art. 8 ECHR), even though at the same time
declared the complaint inadmissible with regard to the right to marry (art. 12 ECHR)
