International Commercial Contracts. Conventions The HCCH's instruments cover subject matters in the area of family law and child protection, international civil procedure and legal cooperation, as well as cross-border commercial and finance law. These areas are often referred to as the "three pillars" of the HCCH. The following HCCH conventions are the most ratified: The abolition of legalisation (Apostille) Service of process Taking of evidence abroad International child abduction Intercountry adoption Maintenance obligations Choice of Court Agreements Hague Child Protection Convention The law applicable to trusts The most recently concluded Hague convention is the Hague Judgments Convention, adopted on 2 July 2019. Tools The HCCH has developed several tools in order to aid in the application of its Conventions. INCADAT is a legal database on international child abduction law containing case summaries and legal analysis of the application of the 1980 Child Abduction Convention. The website also provides additional material relevant to this area of law. iSupport is an electronic case management and secure communication system for the cross-border recovery of maintenance obligations under the EU 2009 Maintenance regulation and the 2007 Hague Child Support Convention. In 2016 a second EU-funded project, iSupport 2.0, started. The two main aspects of this project, which will last until 2018, are the extension of iSupport to other countries and its consolidation with new functionalities. e-App was created in support of the 1961 Apostille Convention. Its aim is to promote and assist in the implementation of low-cost, operational and secure software technology for the issuance of electronic Apostilles and for the operation of electronic registers of Apostilles that can be accessed online by recipients to verify the origin of paper Apostilles or e-Apostilles they have received.
