Expert sees need for reforms in law on child adoption in Armenia
17:23, 18 May, 2015
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.
