Ms Carlotta Alloero:

I would like to confirm that we are not aware of any country or government that has already used these principles. The principles are providing guidance to an important working group that is in place in The Hague, led by the permanent bureau of The Hague Conference on Private International Law. The group is discussing potential future instruments on legal parentage coming from surrogacy arrangements. We are advocating for these principles because they really highlight the safeguards that should be taken into consideration for any future instruments, safeguards that have not been taken into consideration so far.
