Ministry Review
Written by Sciongrad

This proposal addresses an issue that is genuinely internatonal by nature. Intercountry adoption policy cannot possibly be formulated in an efficient manner by individual nations. A prospective parent in one nation would need to deal with different protocols and regulations when dealing with adoption agencies in separate nations in the absence of a uniform process like the one that this proposal seeks to establish. Coordinating activities in such a way that could not otherwise be accomplished by individual member nations or groups of member nations as a major responsibility of the World Assembly, and this proposal does so well.

In addition to regulating adoption procedures, the proposal takes strong measures to ensure the adoptees' welfare. Adopted children are effectively protected from discrimination, abuse, and trafficking. Protection of children's well-being is another area where it is important for the World Assembly to take legislative action, and therefore another reason to support this resolution.
