PROTECTION OF THE RIGHT OF THE CHILD TO ATTEND JOINTS IN LIGHT OF THE RESTRICTIONS CONSEQUENT TO THE COVID PANDEMIA - 19

ABSTRACT

This essay examines the impact that the numerous and complex provisional rules related to the Covid-19 pandemic, which have occurred over time, have had in regulating family relationships. In particular, it analyses the influence that these rules have exercised, on the one hand, on the relationships between parents and children in the context of the family crisis and, on the other hand, the limits imposed on children as regards visiting relatives, as a consequence of the restrictions introduced on freedom of movement and on meetings between non-cohabiting people. This paper also deals with the application of these provisional rules carried out by the Courts, in order to assess their compatibility with the fundamental interests of the child. © 2022 Ibero-American Law Institute.
