This article analyses the intercountry adoptions provisions contained in Chapter 16 of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005, against the standards of the Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoptions, 1993. After a brief overview of the two leading South African cases on intercountry adoption, which stress the importance of having this institution statutorily regulated, the author proceeds to analyse the most significant clauses pertaining to intercountry adoptions contained in the Act, in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses in this new statutory framework. The author concludes that the Children’s Act is a dramatic improvement on the current regime of intercountry adoptions and that it has the potential to make this institution work in the best interests of children.

In 1996, the Adoption Amendment Bill (No 2) was introduced into Parliament. The aim of the Bill was to implement in New Zealand the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption. New Zealand's accession to the Hague Convention would provide significantly improved protection for some children who come to New Zealand as a result of intercountry adoption. This article provides information on intercountry adoption in New Zealand, the background to the Bill, and concludes that the Bill, if passed in its current form, would fail to provide protection for the majority of children who come to New Zealand as a result of intercountry adoption, and would not fulfil New Zealand's obligations concerning adoption under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The UK Recognition of Trusts Act 1987 (‘RTA 1987’) was made applicable to Bermuda as of 1 June 1989 by an Order in Council from the UK government. The RTA 1987 incorporates the key provisions of The Hague Convention on the Recognition of Trusts (the ‘Hague Convention’). The Trusts (Special Provisions) Act 1989 (‘TSPA 1989’), one of Bermuda’s key trust statutes, adopted certain provisions of the Hague Convention verbatim and came into effect on 31 January 1990.

Indeed the Central Authority for England and Wales handled more applications than any other, the USA having split incoming and outgoing applications between two separate bodies.6
