From 4 to 8 November 2024, the Working Group (WG) on Parentage / Surrogacy met for the third time. The meeting, held in hybrid format, was attended by 47 delegates and other experts, representing 25 HCCH Members and three Observers, as well as by members of the Permanent Bureau of the HCCH.
Pursuant to its mandate, the WG continued its consideration of draft provisions for one new instrument on legal parentage generally, including legal parentage resulting from an international surrogacy agreement. The WG will present a report on the progress of its work to the Council on General Affairs and Policy in March 2025.
