This two-volume work, drawn up by the Permanent Bureau of the Hague Conference, constitutes a guide to best practice amongst central authorities in dealing with international child abduction cases.
The guide takes account of the experience, resources and caseload of both new and established central authorities.
Part I of the guide presents a comprehensive range of tried and tested practices, which have resulted in effective implementation of the convention. Part II of the guide describes the arrangements, practices and procedures which have been found to be most useful in implementing and operating the convention.
