The Hague Convention and the best interests of the child
In situations with an international dimension, the analysis may also take into account the international instruments applicable to child protection. The Hague Convention on the protection of children and cooperation in respect of intercountry adoption is notably an important framework where applicable. The objective remains to secure the child's legal path and to take into account their best interests. Each situation must, however, be examined in light of the applicable laws and the specific circumstances of the case.
