Every Member of the HCCH designates a National Organ to facilitate communications with the Permanent Bureau and other Members. In addition, many of the core HCCH Conventions require Contracting Parties, both Members and non-Members of the HCCH, to designate a Central or Competent Authority. These play an important role in the operation of their respective Convention.
