New e-Country Profiles for key HCCH Conventions now available
The Permanent Bureau is pleased to announce the conclusion of the e-Country Profiles project, resulting in the development and modernisation of online Country Profiles for a number of key HCCH Conventions:
- 1965 Service Convention
- 1970 Evidence Convention
- 1980 Child Abduction Convention
- 1993 Adoption Convention
- 1996 Child Protection Convention
- 2000 Protection of Adults Convention
- 2007 Child Support Convention
Contracting Parties to these Conventions can now easily publish legal and practical information about their implementation of these instruments, making the e-Country Profiles a valuable tool for use by public authorities, legal practitioners and other interested parties.
The majority of the project’s budget was provided by the European Union through an EU Action Grant, following a successful request for funding submitted in March 2022. The remaining 10% of the project’s budget was covered through voluntary contributions from Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, and the European Bailiffs’ Foundation (EUBF).
The e-Country Profiles are available here.
