MAHKEME KARARLARINDA SINIRAŞAN TAŞIYICI ANNELİĞE İLİŞKİN HUKUKİ SORUNLAR

Sınıraşan taşıyıcı annelik, milletlerarası aile hukukunun en ilginç konularından bir halinegelmiştir. Milli hukukların taşıyıcı anneliğe yaklaşımı birbirinden oldukça farklıdır.Üstelik sınıraşan taşıyıcı anneliğe ilişkin bir milletlerarası anlaşmanın yokluğu çocuğunvatandaşlığı, velayeti, taşıyıcı anneliğe ilişkin sözleşmelerin geçerliliği, taşıyıcı anne ilebu yolla çocuk sahibi olan anne baba arasındaki ilişkiler, aynı cinsten kişilerin taşıyıcıannelik yoluyla çocuk sahibi olup olamayacakları ve sınıraşan taşıyıcı anneliğe ilişkinmahkeme kararlarının tanınması sorunları başta olmak üzere sınıraşan anneliğe ilişkinolarak ortaya çıkan hukuki sorunların çözümünü zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu sebeple, LaheyAkademisi, bir milletlerarası anlaşmanın yapılması amacıyla, sınıraşan taşıyıcı anneliğeilişkin bir çalışma başlatmıştır. Milli hukukların taşıyıcı anneliğe ilişkin farklı yaklaşımları,mahkeme kararlarına da yansımakta ve birbirine zıt mahkeme kararları ortaya çıkmaktadır.Çalışmamızda, sınıraşan taşıyıcı anneliğe ilişkin farklı sorunlara ilişkin mahkemekararları incelenecektir. Çalışmamızda, sadece milli mahkemelerin değil Avrupa BirliğiAdalet Divanı kararlarının yanı sıra Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi tarafından verilenkararlar üzerinde de durulacaktır.

LEGAL PROBLEMS ARISING FROM INTERNATIONAL SURROGACY IN THE COURT DECISIONS

Cross-border surrogacy emerges as one of the most pressing topics in international family law. The approach to surrogacy in national laws is quite diverse. Moreover, lacking an international agreement about cross border surrogacy makes it hard to solve problems arising from cross border surrogacy particularly in respect of nationality, parenthood of the baby, the validity of surrogacy contracts, the relationship between surrogate mother and intended parents, whether intended parents can be same sex couples and recognition of cross border surrogacy judgments. That is the reason why the Hague Academy has initiated a study on cross border surrogacy with the aim of conclusion of an international treaty. The diverse approach of national laws introduces diverse judgments concerning cross border surrogacy. This study takes a number of recent examples of such cases and traces the ways in which courts have sought to make judgments of different issues in cross border surrogacy. The judgments that are referred in this study have not been only granted by the national courts but also the European Union Court of Justice and as well as by the European Human Rights Court.
