Publication of Vol. XXVII of the Judges' Newsletter on International Child Protection
The Permanent Bureau (PB) is pleased to announce the publication of Vol. XXVII / Spring-Summer 2025 of the Judges' Newsletter on International Child Protection (Judges’ Newsletter). The Judges’ Newsletter provides information on developments relating to the HCCH Children’s Conventions, with a view to facilitating judicial cooperation in the field of international child protection.
This latest edition of the Judges’ Newsletter is dedicated to the Conference “15 Years of the HCCH Washington Declaration - Progress and Perspectives on International Family Relocation”, jointly organised in April 2025 by the Embassy of Canada in Washington, DC, the International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL), and the HCCH.
The conference consisted of eight sessions, bringing together expert speakers from over 20 States. Among other things, the discussions underscored the enduring practical relevance of the 2010 Washington Declaration in promoting common principles for cross-border family relocation proceedings.
The PB is grateful to all the speakers for having submitted their remarks and contributions in writing for this Newsletter.
The full collection of editions of the Judges Newsletter, including Vol. XXVII, is available for download on the HCCH website.
