-as Guyana establishes First Central Authority under Hague convention
The launch of its first Central Authority under the 1983 Hague Adoption Convention, is paving the way for ethical and internationally recognised standards in inter-country adoption with the official opening of the Guyana Central Authority yesterday, at its new headquarters at Fifth Street, Alberttown, Georgetown.
The newly established Central Authority will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of inter-country adoptions, aligning processes with the principles of the Hague Convention. This development marks a pivotal step for Guyana, as it aims to safeguard children from trafficking and provides a transparent, efficient pathway for prospective adoptive families.
