 The specific result in Valeurs de l’Union is correct. An obviously discriminatory law which equates LGBTI+ persons with pedophilia violates EU law. However, the conceptual framework to reach that result is troubling. By limiting Article 2 TEU to “manifest and particularly serious” breaches of the values of human dignity, equality, and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities, the Court does not merely constrain the provision’s reach but encodes a majoritarian, visibility-based standard of human rights that departs from the focus on individual dignity.
