The European Law Institute is pleased to invite you to the ‘ELI at 10: Protection of Adults in International Situations’ webinar which will take place on 7 December 2021 from 18:15–19:45 (CET). You can register for it free of charge here.
The webinar forms part of the series of webinars celebrating ELI’s 10th year anniversary this year. It will feature the recently completed ELI project on the Protection of Adults in International Situations, which seeks to encourage the European Union to consider both external action and the enactment of legislation in the field. The final report provides analysis and, where appropriate, proposals regarding further issues surrounding the application of the Hague Convention of 13 January 2000 on the International Protection of Adults or otherwise relevant to the protection of adults in international situations. It also includes a checklist intended for practitioners, to encourage the development of private mandates within the ambit of the substantive laws of the Member States.
