How has human rights law developed and interpreted the right to a personal identity?
The right to personal identity has largely arisen from a right to respect for one’s private life. In this seminar, Jill Marshall analyses whose rights are protected and what role human rights law play in the formation, and protection, of permissible personal identities. What has been, and what could be, achieved?
Marshall looks at applied philosophy and case law and concentrates on recent cases from the European Court of Human Rights. This includes cases on Islamic headscarves, secret births, and intercultural adoption.
