The Convention makes provision for: Ascertaining which country has jurisdiction based on habitual residence - Determining which country's laws are to be applied- Recognition and Enforcement of orders between states- A framework for the exchange of information and collaboration between administrative authorities. The Convention will be of particular impact in cross-border custody and contact cases, in child abduction cases and in cross-border placements of children.
