SCOPE OF THE CONVENTION. At first sight it would seem strange to have included a child protection convention in a chapter on adoption, but a closer examination of the content of this instrument will explain why this 81 Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxxx (n 79) paras 476–7. 82 P Xxxxx, ‘Intercountry adoption: The 1993 Hague Convention – Its purpose, implementation, and promise’ (1994) 38(1) Family Law Quarterly 53, 59. 83 Case on Recognition of Malawi Adoption, Rechtbank Den Xxxx (22 December 2020) ECLI:NL:RBDHA:2020:14081. In this case the district court had to determine whether the adoption from Malawi was a simple adoption or a strong adoption. 114 Research handbook on adoption law is necessary. The Hague Child Protection Convention 199684 makes explicit reference to the institution of kafalah in Articles 3(e) and 33. Kafalah means taking care, ‘sponsoring someone’ and ‘responding on behalf of somebody’. Kafalah is oftentimes regulated by custom in countries that are based on or influenced by Sharia law. Originally, kafalah was seen as a charitable act, but later became more widespread and regulated.85 According to the Practical handbook on the operation of the Hague Child Protection Convention, kafalah is: widely used in some States as a form of care for children when they cannot be cared for by their parents. Under kafala, children are cared for by new families or relatives but the legal link with their birth parents is generally not severed. Kafala can take place across borders but since it is an arrange- ment which does not constitute an adoption it is not within the scope of the 1993 Hague Intercountry Adoption Convention. However, where used, the institution of kafala clearly constitutes a measure of protection in respect of a child and is therefore expressly within the scope of the 1996 Convention.86 As well as being recognised in the Hague Child Protection Convention 1996, kafalah is also recognised in a number of other international instruments. In Article 20 UNCRC, reference is made to this institution. Article 20 relates to situations in which a child is deprived of their family environment and imposes the obligation to provide for alternative care. Such alternative care can, according to Article 20, include ‘xxxxxx placement, kafalah of Islamic law, adoption or if necessary, placement in suitable institutions for the care of children’. In the early 2000s, implementation actions for Article 20 UNCRC were further developed and ultimately led in part to the Guidelines for the Alternative ...
