Abstract

Pursuant § 188 para 2 of the Austrian Civil Code (Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, hereinafter: ABGB), a third person can be entitled to access to a child if this is in the child’s best interest. A court has to grant access to the child upon request of the child, the child’s parents or a third person, provided the latter has or had a genuine social or family relationship with the child. Upon request of an individual to repeal parts of this provision the Constitutional Court held that there was no violation of the rights guaranteed under Article 8 ECHR.
