How Bartholet influenced Jaap Doek

Here it’s important to note that Jakob Doek, Chair of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, took a major step forward in announcing at the end of a recent conference that: “The institution is the worst possible option for an orphaned or abandoned child, thus other options, such as foster care, domestic adoption and international adoption, must be considered simultaneously

"Prof. Elizabeth Bartholet, Harvard Law and Jakob Doek, UN Committee Chair held opposing positions until sitting on a panel at last year’s conference. Since then they have collaborated on two projects."
