Why is it interesting?
In 2014, a gay couple, who have been living as family partners since 2010, decided to apply to the European Court of Human Rights because of the inability to legalize their relationship in Ukraine.
The Court found that the applicants had been treated differently from opposite-sex couples due to the lack of any legal recognition and protection for them, and that their sexual orientation was the only reason for the difference in treatment.
The court found that Ukraine had violated Article 14 in conjunction with Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and ordered that each of the couples be paid EUR 5,000 in compensation for non-pecuniary damage and reimbursed for the lawyers’ fees.
