1 Introduction The Hague Convention of 29 ay 1993 on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (1993 Hague Convention) provides for the collection and exchange of statistics on intercountry adoption as a means to promote co-operation amongst Central Authorities, verify that safeguards are met, and facilitate the provision of postadoption services. Access to these statistics allows stakeholders to monitor the operation of the Convention, develop policy, and identify good practice in intercountry adoption. Guide to Good Practice No 1 recognises the utility of statistics in measuring the effective implementation of the 1993 Hague Convention (para. 189). In particular, when analysed alongside economic and demographic data, statistics can help stakeholders understand the fundamental nature of intercountry adoption and monitor its geographic and temporal trends. The last meetings of the Special Commissions (SC) have also underlined the importance for States Parties to submit general statistics on an annual basis to the Permanent Bureau using its standard forms (Rec. No 9 of the 2005 SC, Rec. No 30 of the 2010 SC and Rec. No 49 of the 2015 SC). Therefore, the Permanent Bureau would be very thankful if States, insofar as they have not already done so, could complete the updated standard forms for the years 2010 to 2016 (inclusive) (States do not need to resubmit statistics that have previously been furnished). The forms are also available on the Hague Conference website at < > under Adoption Section then Statistics. States are encouraged to submit completed forms by to < secretariat@hcch.net > for the attention of s Laura artínez-ora, Principal Legal Officer.
