This book is a comprehensive guide to the 1996 Hague Convention on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Recognition, Enforcement and Co-operation in Respect of Parental Responsibility and Measures for the Protection of Children. The first edition was published in 2012, coinciding with the UK's implementation of the Convention. Since then, there have been significant developments, including an increase in the number of Contracting States, the UK's withdrawal from the EU, and the need to understand how the Convention interacts with other international instruments.
