• At the last Commonwealth Law Ministers' Meeting in Sydney, Australia, in 2011, law ministers mandated the Commonwealth Secretariat to develop a scheme for international cooperation in civil legal matters. This article explores the issues that would be covered by such a scheme and examines whether they are best addressed under existing international mechanisms, in particular the Hague Conventions. The article analyses the relevant provisions of the Hague Conventions and determines whether an intra-Commonwealth scheme on international civil legal cooperation would bring an advantage. It then makes recommendations in that regard.
