After a historical and comparative overview regarding the discrimination of children in the perspective of the European Court for Human Rights, the aim of the paper is to examine an important shift that international standards and conventions have recently brought about in the Italian landscape of filiation: the Italian Law Reform 2012-2013, which is designed to abolish the legal disabilities of all children born from both married and non-married parents. The analysis takes into account the implications entailed by other interventions of the Italian legislator that regulated the variations of society, gradually overcoming the use of obsolete terms. In this study, we ask the question if the combination of old and new legal reforms has entirely resolved the problems tied to the children’ s legal status.

Abstract

After a historical and comparative overview regarding the discrimination of children in the perspective of the European Court for Human Rights, the aim of the paper is to examine an important shift that international standards and conventions have recently brought about in the Italian landscape of filiation: the Italian Law Reform 2012-2013, which is designed to abolish the legal disabilities of all children born from both married and non-married parents. The analysis takes into account the implications entailed by other interventions of the Italian legislator that regulated the variations of society, gradually overcoming the use of obsolete terms. In this study, we ask the question if the combination of old and new legal reforms has entirely resolved the problems tied to the children’ s legal status.
