Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the adopted adult has a constitutional and treaty-based right to know his biological mother’s identity.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The Court held that the right to know one’s biological parents exists as an aspect of personality rights and personal liberty, and it includes access to the relevant overlaid registry data.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 7(1) CRC, together with constitutional personality protection and the later-adopted legislative scheme, establishes a fundamental right of the adult adopted child to learn his origin. The Court treated the interest as unconditional and not dependent on balancing against the parents’ secrecy interests in this context.
