The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Poland has broken the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms without registering the same-sex union in the United Kingdom.
The complaint was brought by 1 of the Polish citizens, demanding a compensation of EUR 10,000. In his application, he stated that the deficiency of consent for legal designation of his union in Poland was a “discrimination”.
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that associate States are required to supply a legal framework that allows "the same-sex couples to be decently recognised and protected." The Polish State is to pay the applicant a sum of EUR 1000 plus the costs incurred within 3 months.
The Constitution of the Republic of Poland clearly defines matrimony as a union between a female and a man. In Poland, there is besides no law on pseudo-partner unions, which could affect same-sex individuals. For this reason, registration in the civilian Law Offices of single-sex unions legalized abroad is prohibited. The judgement of the ETPC in Strasbourg is another effort to impose the superiority of EU law over national law.
