    La tendencia de las parejas del mismo sexo a viajar al extranjero para establecer una filiación y la negativa de los estados de origen a reconocerla ha planteado importantes problemas jurídicos y ha llamado la atención de la doctrina académica. Aunque la regulación de los derechos parentales de las parejas del mismo sexo cae dentro de las competencias de los estados, cuando se trata de la continuidad de una filiación establecida en el extranjero, resulta aplicable tanto el derecho internacional de derechos humanos como el de la UE. En consecuencia, el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos y el Tribunal de Justicia de la UE han adoptado recientemente una interesante jurisprudencia que trata sobre la protección que estos ámbitos jurídicos pueden ofrecer en casos de reconocimiento transfronterizo de una filiación establecida por parejas del mismo sexo. El artículo ofrece un análisis de esta jurisprudencia argumentando que tanto el derecho de la UE como el derecho internacional de derechos humanos garantizan la continuidad de la filiación establecida por parejas del mismo sexo en el extranjero de un modo más amplio que el estipulado en esta jurisprudencia.

    The tendency of same-sex couples to travel abroad in order to establish parenting rights and the refusal of home states to recognise the family relationship has raised important legal issues and has attracted attention among academics. Although parenting rights of same-sex couples fall within the competences of the states, when it comes to the continuity of parenting rights established abroad, then both EU and international human rights law become applicable. As a result, the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the EU have recently adopted an interesting case law which deals with the protection that these areas of law may offer in cases of cross-border recognition of parenting rights of same-sex couples. The article offers an analysis of this case law arguing that both EU and international human rights law guarantee the continuity of parenting rights of same-sex partners established abroad in a rather broader way than the one provided for in this case law.
