"Ongeboren en toch al slachtoffer van willekeurig beleid"


Linda's elevator pitch
This thesis explores the possibility to issue a supervision order for an unborn child under Dutch Law. Currently, this form of prenatal child protection is only possible by using the existing ‘postnatal’ child protection rules and applying them under the codified nasciturus-fiction. However – when various judges apply these standards differently, what does that mean for the parents’ legal certainty? Using case law research and more importantly, conducting interviews amongst (legal and other) experts in the field, this thesis attempts to formulate the possibility to codify the prenatal supervision order in the Dutch Civil Code in order to better protect the rights of those involved.
