With an increasing global understanding of the importance and strengths of the Convention of 13 January 2000 on the International Protection of Adults (“2000 Convention”), and considering the rising number of Contracting Parties, the publication of a Practical Handbook is timely.
This Handbook is the culmination of several consultations with the Working Group, comprised of experts from both Contracting Parties and States which are considering becoming Parties to the 2000 Convention. The Handbook draws upon the experiences and practical examples provided by these experts, in order to acknowledge developing good practices as well as areas that could be improved, thereby encouraging other States to become Parties to the 2000 Convention.
This Practical Handbook on the Operation of the 2000 Convention is available in English and French.
The Catalogue of HCCH publications and order form are available here.
