B-48. INTER-AMERICAN CONVENTION ON
CONFLICT OF LAWS CONCERNING THE ADOPTION OF MINORS
a. MEXICO:
(Declaration made at the time of ratification)
Mexico declares that it extends the application of the present
Convention to the various circumstances of adoption referred to in
Articles 12 and 20 of the inter-American instrument.
(Rectification to the declaration made at the time of
ratification of the Convention)
The permanent delegation of Mexico before the OAS, through note
No. 01369, dated the 28th 0f May, 1992, informed the Secretary
General, who is serving as depository for the Inter-American
Convention on Conflicts of Laws Concerning the Adoption of Minors,
of the following rectification to the declaration made at the time
of ratification of the Convention:
"The government of the United Mexican States declared that it
would extend the application of the afore-mentioned Convention to
the various circumstances regarding adoption as they are referred to
in Articles 12 and 20 of said instrument. This is an incorrect
reference statement since the declaration is actually applicable to
Article 2 and 20 of the cited Convention, signed in La Paz, Bolivia
on the 24th of May,1984."
b. CHILE:
Reservation at the time of the ratification (10/26/01)
"The Republic of Chile declares that it recognizes only full
adoption or other institutions that have similar effects and therefore
constitute a filial relationship that confers to the adoptee the status
of child of the adopter or adopters. Consequently, Chile issues a reservation
to the provisions of Article 2 of the Convention, which it considers
inapplicable in its case."
c. HONDURAS:
Reservation at the time of the ratification (07/07/08)
"The Government of the Republic of Honduras declares that it only recognizes
full adoption as the legal institution that establishes equal, permanent,
and complete ties of kinship between the adopting and the adopted parties,
in keeping with the principle of the best interest of the child and
consolidation of the family. Accordingly, it enters its reservation with respect
to Article 2 of the Convention, which it considers inapplicable to this matter.”
