EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes the Child Abduction and Custody (Parties to Conventions) Order 2011 (SI 2011/746), and amends the Child Abduction and Custody (Parties to Conventions) Order 1986 (SI 1986/1159) as amended by the Child Abduction and Custody (Parties to Conventions (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/702), to substitute a new Schedule 1 for the existing Schedule 1. The new Schedule 1 includes San Marino and Ukraine in the list of Contracting States to the Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, done at the Hague on 25th October 1980 (Cm. 33). It also includes the correct date of the coming into force of the said Convention between the United Kingdom and San Marino and between the United Kingdom and Ukraine.
