This article examines the current regulation of surrogacy in England from a children’s rights perspective. It draws on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989 and its Optional Protocols as well as General Comments and Concluding Observations from the Committee on the Rights of the Child in order to analyse the extent to which the current regulatory framework on surrogacy is in line with a children’s rights approach.
