Abstract/Description:

This chapter provides commentary on art. 21 of the CRC on adoption. It explains the conditions that adoptions must meet under the Convention and engages, in particular, with the debate on inter-country adoptions. Art. 21 of the CRC considers inter-country adoption a measure of last resort, which may lead to subsidiarity conflicts with art. 20 of the CRC.
