CASE OF REES v. THE UNITED KINGDOM

Description
-
In the case of REES V THE UNITED KINGDOM, a transgender man claimed that the UK government's refusal to amend his birth certificate violated his rights under Articles 8 and 12 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The case is lost but the European Court of Human Rights notes the seriousness of the problems affecting transsexuals and the need for review “having regard particularly to scientific and societal developments.”
