CONCURRING OPINION OF JUDGE WOJTYCZEK

I fully agree with the view expressed by Judge De Gaetano in his concurring opinion that under the Convention there exists no positive obligation on the part of the State to allow a person to retract at will the recognition of a child. At the same time, the judgments issued by the domestic courts in the circumstances of the present case cannot be seen as an interference with the applicant ’ s rights protected under Article 8 of the Convention. The right to respect for private and family life presupposes an effective protection of the stability of family relations.
