Abstract

Over time, the growing number of international couples has led to an impressive volume of litigation involving minors, which are also the most difficult legal issues.

               In order to address them, Member States shall make sustained efforts to align the relevant legislation. Solving such an international process is a great challenge for legal specialists.

               At European level, this challenge is exacerbated by the high standards and guarantees provided to the parties in both international and Community civil proceedings.

               In ancient times, children's rights were addressed in a fractional way in the European Union. The only legislative framework was the regulation of large-scale economic and political issues affecting children. Currently, the concern about the projection of the child is at the macro level, including the protection of all their rights and freedoms.

               Currently, the Court of Justice of the European Union also has an important role in cases concerning minors. Until recently, the Court had resolved only a few such disputes. As new legislative measures have been adopted, much clearer as regards the rights of the child, the cases resolved by the court have skyrocketed. Many of these decisions refer to the rights of the child through the issue of free movement.
