Potwierdzenie obowiązku instytucjonalizacji związków osób tej samej płci Wyrok Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka z dnia 12 grudnia 2023 r. w sprawie Przybyszewska i inni przeciwko Polsce (skarga nr 11454/17 i 9 innych)
The Confirmation of the Obligation to Institutionalize Same-Sex Couples

Summary/Abstract: This commentary addresses the judgement of the European Court of Human Rights from 12 December 2023 in the case of Przybyszewska and Others v. Poland. The case concerned the lack of any form of legal recognition and protection for same-sex couples in the Republic of Poland. According to the Court, the Poland had not complied with the obligation to create a relevant legal framework that acknowledges the rights of same-sex couples, and, therefore, the case raised an issue under Article 8 of the Convention. The applicants were unable to legally regulate several fundamental aspects of their lives, and this constituted an infringement of their right to the respect for their private and family lives. The judgement is of a groundbreaking nature since the Government of the Republic of Poland has now to create a new relevant legal framework and to ensure the protection of same-sex couples.
