History
First Session of the Hague Conference on Private International Law convened in 1893 by the Government of the Netherlands, at the initiative of T.M.C. Asser (Nobel Peace Prize 1911). The Conference would meet five more times before the outbreak of the Second World War, in 1894, 1900, 1904, 1925 and 1928. At its Seventh Session (1951), participating States agreed on the adoption of a Statute reflecting the Conference's permanent character. The Statute entered into force on 15 July 1955, establishing the HCCH as a permanent intergovernmental organization.
Aims
Work for the progressive unification of the rules of private international law through development and effective implementation of Conventions and other multilateral legal instruments.
