Abstract

The proposed article is devoted to the issue of Conflicting issues of legal regulation of surrogacy in Private International Law. The complexity and multidimensionality of issues, the emergence of which is due to the birth of children because of agreements on surrogacy, have been investigated.

The article draws a number of conclusions. First, compliance with the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur requires the adoption of urgent measures to prevent violations of the rights of all participants in a surrogacy relationship due to their vulnerability. Also, regarding the lack of regulation of these legal relations at the level of law within the jurisdiction of Ukraine, the author expresses his opinion about the certain justification of such a situation until a unified normative act is adopted based on the results of the work of the Hague Conference on Private International Law.
