As for surrogacy, the French Council of State has confirmed what already established by the ECHR. By rejecting the complaints of some associations against the Ministerial circular sent by the Minister of Justice Christiane Taubira that grants the French citizenship to those babies born abroad through surrogate pregnancy. The Council has reaffirmed that 1. A person is of French nationality if at least one of his/her parents is French; 2. Being born abroad through surrogacy does not exclude the possibility of obtaining the French citizenship, even though it is illegal in France. The important is that the criterion above mentioned is satisfied. It is fundamental to grant the child – highlight Judges –the right to the respect of their private life, as recommended in the ECHR’ s Article 8.
