Expert sees need for reforms in law on child adoption in Armenia

Expert sees need for reforms in law on child adoption in Armenia

YEREVAN, 18 MAY, ARMENPRESS. The process of child adoption is still imperfect in Armenia, and that can be the reason for the sale of children and illegal adoption. This is what Special Rapporteur of the United Nations Maud de Boer-Buquicchio mentioned during a May 18 press conference. During her May 12-18 visit, Buquicchio assessed the situation connected to the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography in Armenia.

“I welcome the decision of the Armenian government and National Assembly to undertake legislative reforms and call on matching the law on child adoption with the international norms and standards immediately, including The Hague Convention,” Maud de Boer-Buquicchio emphasized.
