The 1980 and 1993 Hague Conventions focused on two very important issues concerning children: illegal kidnapping and international adoption. The Conventions' drafters, faced with the opposing realities of globalisation and balkanisation in today's world, applied concepts of international cooperation to deter abuses against children. / The Conventions' articles are original in the methods they employ to coordinate private international law systems. They encourage and permit international cooperation. Their real impact, however, lies in the legal flexibility they generate. Indeed, the Conventions' goals are notably achieved through the creation and application of informal law. / Much pertinent literature has already been written on the specific technical mechanisms of the Conventions. I have taken a more wide-ranging approach in order to underline the weaker points in the Conventions' implementation, while also noting those that have strong potential for the future.
