This convention revises the 1961 convention concerning the powers of authorities and the law applicable in respect of the protection of minors. The present Convention is parallel to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Its purpose is to help determine under whose jurisdiction a child is in any given country, which persons may exercise authority over the child, and to determine the laws that are applicable to parental responsibility.
