The EAPIL asked us to share information about their Webinar “What Measures Should the EU Adopt to Enhance the Protection of Adults in Europe?” on 10 March from 17 to 19.00 Central European Time (GMT +1). You can register until 9 March.
This is in response to the European Commission’s public consultation on the need for improved EU cooperation in the field of the protection of adults, in conjunction with the Hague Convention of 2000.
Also of note is that the Hague Conference on Private International Law is in the process of drawing up a practical handbook and has launched its consultation with Member States on the the draft practical handbook.

U.S. becomes sixth signatory to the HCCH 2019 Judgments Convention
Today, 2 March 2022, the United States of America (USA) signed the HCCH 2019 Judgments Convention. This made the world’s largest economy the sixth signatory state to the new legal instrument, following Uruguay, Costa Rica, Israel and, intricately, Ukraine and the Russian Federation. However, read in conjunction with the recent proposal of the European Commission, the U.S. signature demonstrates the strong interest in a global legal framework for judicial cooperation in the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
