He bases his analysis in the travaux préparatoires of the wording of the right to marry in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in other human rights documents. The demonstrates that the words “men and women” in the Universal Declaration have never been intended to exclude same-sex couples from marriage. On the contrary, those words were used to emphasize the gender-neutral character of the right to marry. Nevertheless, as regards parenting even Dutch law still makes a distinction between women and men – and thereby between heterosexual and lesbian marriages (especially when the child is conceived with semen from a known donor). The author analyses how these last distinctions can be eliminated (also with respect to surnames, and also in the interest transgenders and intersex people). He concludes that this is possible by merging the Civil Code articles on legal motherhood and legal fatherhood. The new rule could simply start with “Parent is the person who…”. And among other things it could provide that “parent” is the person who at the time of birth of a child is the married or registered partner of the person who gives birth, unless another person, with the consent of both partners, has acknowledged the child before it is born. Thereby the law would no longer distinguish between children conceived with or without a sperm donor, between children conceived with a known or unknown donor, or between children born to a lesbian or heterosexual couple. And so (Dutch) marriage law would become completely gender-neutral and orientation-neutral. Show less

Since then such a right has been recognised in similar words by national and international courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court (Roberts v. U.S. Jaycees), the European Court of Human Rights (Niemietz v. Germany), the Constitutional Court of South Africa (National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality), and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (Ortega v. Mexico). This lecture traces the origins of this right, linking it to the meaning of the word ‘orientation’ and to the basic psychological need for love, affection and belongingness (Maslow 1943). It proposes to speak of ‘the right to relate’, and argues that this right can be seen as the common theme in all issues of sexual orientation law (ranging from decriminalisation and anti-discrimination, to the recognition of refugees and of same-sex parenting). This right can be used as the common denominator in the comparative study of all those laws in the world that are anti-homosexual, or that are same-sex-friendly. The right to establish (same-sex) relationships implies both a right to come out, and a right to come together. The right to develop (same-sex) relationships is being made operational through legal respect, legal protection, legal recognition, legal formalization, and legal recognition of foreign formalization.

Show moreMet de door hem ontwikkelde Global Index on Legal Recognition of Homosexual Orientation (GILRHO) geeft Kees Waaldijk op een schaal van nul tot acht aan, hoe ver een land is met het uit het strafrecht halen van homoseksualiteit, met het verbieden van homodiscriminatie en met het erkennen van gelijkgeslachtelijke stellen. Elk land kan in totaal acht punten krijgen voor belangrijke juridische stappen inzake homoseksuele gerichtheid: decriminalisering, gelijke leeftijdsgrenzen in het strafrecht, verbod van discriminatie in de arbeid, verbod van discriminatie bij goederen en diensten, erkenning van ongehuwd samenwonen, invoering van geregistreerd partnerschap, openstelling van adoptie, en openstelling van het huwelijk. Indien een bepaalde stap slechts in een deel van een land is gezet, levert dat een halve punt op in GILRHO. Deze index is nog in ontwikkeling, maar de voorlopige waarden voor de meeste landen van de wereld van 1961 tot 2015 kunnen al vergeleken worden met andere indicatoren (zoals Gross Domestic Product per capita, of uitkomsten van de World Values Survey met betrekking tot homoseksualiteit). Dat wordt zichtbaar gemaakt in de moving bubble chart die Kees Waaldijk ontwikkeld heeft in samenwerking met Derk Geene MSc, Jingshu ZhuLLM en het Centre for Innovations van Universiteit Leiden. Zie de screen-shots in de online hand-out bij deze lezing, en zie ook het persbericht over deze lezing op www.law.leidenuniv.nl/nieuws/waaldijk-presenteert-global-index.html. De samenhang tussen GILRHO enerzijds en economische ontwikkeling anderzijds is sterk. Wisselwerking lijkt waarschijnlijk. Dat geldt ook voor de relatie tussen GILRHO en maatschappelijke opvattingen over homoseksualiteit en homoseksuelen. De spreker heeft de opzet van GILRHO, plus de GILRHO data voor 39 landen over alle jaren van sinds 1980, eerder uitgebreid gepresenteerd in een rapport dat hij samen met Lee M.V. Badgett et al. schreef: The Relationship between LGBT Inclusion and Economic Development: An Analysis of Emerging Economies, Los Angeles & Washington DC: The Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law & US Agency for International Development, 2014.

This article gives a compact overview of developments in national and European law regarding same-sex partners. Over the last decades, new legal family formats (such as registered partnership and de facto union) have been made available in a growing number of countries. The number of countries that have opened up marriage to same-sex couples is also growing. Authors of comparative family law have proposed various classifications of the new legal family formats. Meanwhile, an increasing number of EU laws now acknowledge non-marital partners. The European Courts have been asked several times to rule on controversial differentiations between different legal family formats or between same-sex and different-sex partners. In the case law of the European Court of Human Rights one can find examples of affirmative eloquence which suggest that more steps towards full legal recognition of same-sex families could be expected. This is an edited and updated version of the article 'Great diversity and some equality: non-marital legal family formats for same-sex couples in Europe', that appeared in the book: M. van den Brink et al. (eds.), Equality and human rights: nothing but trouble? – Liber amicorum Titia Loenen, Utrecht, Netherlands Institute of Human Rights 2015 (SIM Special 38, p. 223-245 & 414) and in the journal: GenIUS – Rivista di studi giuridici sull’orientamento sessuale e l’identità di genere 2014 (p. 42-56).

Show moreThis article criticises the new Dutch provisions (in force since 1 April 2014) that make it possible for a woman to become the second mother of the child of her female partner without having to go through an adoption procedure. The author argues that it would have been better - and possible - to make no distinction at all between a child born to a woman with a female partner and a child born to a woman with a male partner. He proposes a new provision for the Civil Code that would be both gender neutral and orientation neutral. The married or registered partner of the birth mother should automatically become the second legal parent of the child, unless another person - with permission of both partners - will have formally acknowledged the child before its birth. When this article was included in this Liber Amicorum (online at rechtwijs.nl/jcvslxla), the editors left out the footnotes by mistake. A copy of the article including the footnotes is available in the Leiden University Repository. Show less
