Fifth Meeting of the Working Group established to complete the Country Profile and work on the draft Cooperation Request Recommended Model Form for the 1996 Child Protection Convention
In March 2024, the Council on General Affairs and Policy (CGAP) approved the establishment of a Working Group (WG) to first complete the Country Profile for the 1996 Child Protection Convention and then to progress work on the draft Cooperation Request Recommended Model Form under the 1996 Child Protection Convention (see Conclusion and Decisions Nos 23-24 of CGAP 2024).
The fifth meeting of the WG was held online on 23 October 2024, hosted by the Permanent Bureau (PB) in The Hague. The meeting was attended by 14 delegates representing 11 HCCH Members and one non-Member Contracting Party, as well as by members of the PB. During the meeting, participants finalised the draft Country Profile for the 1996 Child Protection Convention, taking into account comments provided by Members in September 2024.
The final draft Country Profile will be circulated to HCCH Members for approval through a written procedure before the end of 2024.
More information on the 1996 Child Protection Convention is available on the HCCH website.
