THE RIGHT TO FAMILY LIFE AT THE LEVEL OF EUROPE
THE RIGHT TO FAMILY LIFE AT THE LEVEL OF EUROPE

Summary/Abstract: The importance of the family in society has been emphasized since ancient times, which has led to its enshrinement in international human rights law, stating that every person should benefit from family life. Existing universal international regulations are an example of how states have agreed to enshrine various issues related to ensuring and guaranteeing the right to family life. Being faithful to universal provisions, however also under the influence of the traditions specific to each region, the states have adopted a series of legal instruments of a regional nature. Thus, the analysis of European regional regulations leads us to a research of the documents adopted at the level of the Council of Europe, but also at the level of the European Union without neglecting the jurisprudence of the two European courts, namely: the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union.
