1. Art. S of the 1961 Convention on the Protection of Infants states as follows:

‘(1) If the habitual residence of an infant is transferred from one contracting State to another, measures taken by the authorities of the State of the former habitual residence shall remain in force in so far as the authorities of the new habitual residence have not terminated or replaced them.

(2) Measures taken by the authorities of the State of the former habitual residence shall be terminated or replaced only after previous notice to the said authorities.

(3) In the case of change of residence of an infant who was under the protection of authorities of the State of his nationality, measures taken by them according to their domestic law shall remain in force in the State of the new habitual residence’ (from: G. van Bueren, ed., International Documents on Children (Dordrecht/Boston/London, Martinus Nijhoff 1993) chapter 30, p. 128).

2. Art. 1 of the 1961 Convention on the Protection of Infants states as follows:
