To ameliorate this situation, the Permanent Bureau of the Hague Conference has recently launched The Hague Project for International Co-operation and the Protection of Children. The goal of this Project is to make information about the operation of the Conventions more easily accessible. The normal budget which is provided by the 47 Member States of the Conference does not make provision for developmental activities of this kind. The Permanent Bureau is therefore seeking supplementary funding for certain key projects which go beyond, but are closely related to, its usual activities in the field of international child protection. This Project is being created to promote better mutual understanding and communication among the judiciary of different countries, and to add to international co-operation as it takes on an increasingly global character.
Funding is through voluntary contributions.
