We hope that this will reach a wider range of government officials, judges, lawyers and academics, who will in turn help to establish a more comprehensive understanding of the Convention and its practical application throughout the Convention community of States.”   The CD-ROM will cost 150 euros for a yearly subscription of three issues.
