Ongoing Revisions and possible US action on Hague Convention on Protection
of Minors and international conventions on international support enforcement,
considering the effect of the Convention on the Rights of the Child on earlier
conventions, incl. Child Abduction
You may be interested how the administration is dealing with questions raised
by the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. The State Department
has made available documents produced by revisers, and by the U.S. delegation,
concerning major revisions to the 1961 Hague Convention on Protection
of Minors and various international conventions on international
support enforcement. The revised Hague convention is discussed in A
UCCJA FOR THE WHOLE WORLD?, by Richard Crouch.

You can either 1) bring the documents onscreen and then either read or save
as text files, or 2) download WordPerfect 5.1 versions or ASCII text verisons
directly IF you have a zip/unzip file compression program such as pkunzip.
(Stuffit won't work). These are somewhat long for reading online, although
I have skimmed them in a not-too-successful effort to find out what was
going on. If you have Miscosoft Word on a Macintosh or a PC, and have an
unzipper, you can download the WordPerfect and then turn it into MSW with
your "Windows Metafile Converter," found in MSW's "Word Commands"
folder (or directory). You can also use the "Converter" to turn
a text file into MSW, but then you'll end up with a fixed "return"
at the end of every line and occasionally some mysterious computer gibberish.
By the way, the original source of these links is the State
Department's DOSFAN. That site is also scheduled to include at some
point the conventions on service of process and taking evidence abroad,
so you may want to check
for updates.
