Entry into force: 1 July 2000. The Convention aims to protect the best interests of children. It provides a number of procedural measures to allow the children to exercise their rights. It sets up a Standing Committee which shall keep under review problems relating to this Convention. The Convention provides for measures which aim to promote the rights of the children, in particular in family proceedings before judicial authorities. The judicial authority, or person appointed to act before a judicial authority on behalf of a child, has a number of duties designed to facilitate the exercise of rights by children. Children should be allowed to exercise their rights (for example, the right to be informed and the right to express their views) either themselves or through other persons or bodies. Among the types of family proceedings of special interest for children are those concerning custody, residence, access, questions of parentage, legitimacy, adoption, legal guardianship, administration of property of children, care procedures, removal or restriction of parental responsibilities, protection from cruel or degrading treatment and medical treatment. Each Party is required to specify at least three categories of family proceedings to which this Convention is to apply. This European legal instrument will also facilitate the implementation by Parties of the United Nations Convention on the rights of the child. http://www.crin.org/Law/instrument.asp?InstID=1043 Fri, 13 Jul 2007 11:13:00 GMT The Hague, 28.V.1970 http://www.crin.org/Law/instrument.asp?InstID=1073 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 08:54:00 GMT Decision concerning the right of children to maintain relationships with their parents in Austria. http://www.crin.org/Law/instrument.asp?InstID=1604 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 15:31:00 GMT Case brought by a child kidnapped from her parents and raised in Uruguay. http://www.crin.org/Law/instrument.asp?InstID=1635 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 21:17:00 GMT The specific aim of the Guiding Principles is to suggest practical and detailed measures for effective domestic implementation of the international rules protecting children affected by armed conflict. http://www.crin.org/Law/instrument.asp?InstID=1560 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:29:00 GMT 05/09/1996 http://www.crin.org/Law/instrument.asp?InstID=1209 Tue, 27 Nov 2007 12:01:00 GMT The Governments of the Member States of the Organization of American States, desirous of concluding a convention on conflict of laws concerning the adoption of minors, have agreed as follows: Article 1 This Convention shall apply to the adoption of minors in the form of full adoption, http://www.crin.org/Law/instrument.asp?InstID=1025 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 07:50:00 GMT The States Parties to this Convention, CONSIDERING the importance of ensuring comprehensive and effective protection for minors, through appropriate mechanisms to guarantee respect for their rights; AWARE that the international traffic in minors is a universal concern; TAKING http://www.crin.org/Law/instrument.asp?InstID=1026 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 07:55:00 GMT Article 1 The purpose of this Convention is to secure the prompt return of children habitually resident in one State Party who have been wrongfully removed from any State to a State Party or who, having been lawfully removed, have been wrongfully retained.
