Gulf Judicial Conference on legal Cooperation Concludes in Doha
The First Gulf Judicial Conference on Cross Frontier Legal Cooperation in Civil and Commerce Matters organized by the Qatari Ministry of Justice in collaboration with the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) concluded its works in Doha today.
The final communiqu? called for the implementation of the conventions which have been developed by the HCCH on the international protection of children and family, the international legal and administrative co-operation and the international commercial and Finance law, in accordance with national legal systems.
It called for further efforts aimed at creating a dialogue between the States party to HCCH and the six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
It also underlined the importance to join The Hague Apostille Convention of 5 October 1961 and the Convention of 19 October 1996 on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Recognition, Enforcement and Co-operation in Respect of Parental Responsibility and Measures for the Protection of Children.
The Apostille Convention greatly simplifies the authentication of public documents such as birth certificates, judgments, notarial attestations, etc... to be used abroad.
Where it applies, the treaty reduces the authentication process to a single formality: the issuance of an authentication certificate by an authority designated by the country where the public document was issued. The Certificate is called Apostille.
The Hague Convention 1996 covers civil measures of protection concerning children, ranging from orders concerning parental responsibility and contact to public measures of protection or care, and from matters of representation to the protection of children s property. It is therefore much broader in scope than two earlier conventions of the HCCH on the subject.
The communiqu? also stressed the necessity to develop measures meant to recognize and enforce foreign judgments at the regional and the international levels.
The communiqu? as well recommended holding a bi-annual conference alternatively in GCC member states.
Participants have agreed to develop an Arabic translation of Hague Conventions and annexes at HCCH website.
The three-day event dealt with international protection of children, family and property relations, international legal co-operation and litigation and international commercial and finance law.
It hosted many sessions on different conventions of The Hague and discussed on the follow-up and next steps towards the increased practical relevance of the work of The Hague conference in the GCC region.
At his keynote speech, HE the Minister of Justice, Hassan Bin Abdulla Al Ghanim said this conference would promote inter-regional co-operation between the Arab countries, the GCC member states the Hague Conference on Private International Law.
Formed in 1893, HCCH "works for the progressive unification of the rules of private international law".
It has pursued this goal by creating and assisting in the implementation of multilateral conventions promoting the harmonization of conflict of laws principles in diverse subject matters within private international law.
Sixty-eight nations are currently members of the Hague Conference, including China, Russia, the United States, and all member states of the European Union
