Whats the difference between “members of Hague Conference” and “parties to Hague Convention?
Countries can be members of the Hague conference but NOT a party to Hague convention for the abolishment of the requirement of legalization of foreign public documents. States which have participated in one or more of the earlier Sessions of the Conference may become Members of the Organization by accepting the Statute. Other States must be admitted by vote: admission is decided upon by a majority of Member States voting on a proposal made by one or several of them.
