WG on the completion of the Country Profile and draft Cooperation Request Model Form for the 1996 Child Protection Convention
On 28 May 2025, the ninth meeting of the Working Group (WG) established to complete the Country Profile and work on the draft Cooperation Request Model Form for the 1996 Child Protection Convention was held online, hosted by the Permanent Bureau (PB). The meeting was attended by nine delegates representing seven HCCH Members, as well as by members of the PB.
Pursuant to its mandate (C&Ds No 23-24 of CGAP 2024), the WG finalised the structure and contents of a first revised draft Cooperation Request Model Form for the 1996 Child Protection Convention, taking into account the comments provided by Members and Contracting Parties ahead of the Eighth Meeting of the Special Commission on the 1980 Child Abduction and 1996 Child Protection Conventions in October 2023.
The first revised draft Cooperation Request Model Form will be circulated to HCCH Members and Contracting Parties to the 1996 Child Protection Convention by the end of June for comments by mid-September.
