18 PAGES (5542 WORDS) Law Paper

There

is no doubt that rights of LGBTs seem controversial or at best unsettled few

decades ago among European Nations human rights regimes until recently. Hence the

focus of this paper is to give an insight on the position of the European Court

of Human Rights in creating a common ground and certainty on the rights of

LGBTs within the member nations of the Council of Europe. It will equally

highlight the evolutive approach of the Court via its interpretative creativity

in evolving the rights to private and family life under the European Convention

on Human Rights.
