Abstract

The legislative proposal to set up the non-marital civil union for same-sex people raises four key questions:

1. As social and economic fundamental rights of the human person, the Constitution establishes the right of a person to life, an identity, moral, mental and physical integrity and to free development and welfare; to equality before the law (expressly declaring that no one should be discriminated against, inter alia, because of sex, opinion or any other); freedom of conscience (no persecution for having ideas or beliefs or crime of opinion); to personal and family privacy; peace, tranquility, leisure, relaxation and enjoyment of a balanced and developmentally appropriate environment for life; to selfdefense; to liberty and security of person; to organize and establish foundations and various forms of legal non-profit organization without prior authorization and in accordance with law; to hire for lawful purposes (provided that no laws
contravene public order); to property and inheritance; and family: Then Does a law establishing non-marital civil union for same sex people formed is necessary “... to establish and safeguard rights and duties to each other ...”?

2. Is it necessary to legislate in favor of minorities?

3. Can the right change the nature of things?

4.does the reference to “non-marital” civil union status is required?
