This chapter presents the main international treaties and instruments that make up Colombian international family law, particularly those that contain rules regarding child protection and international adoption, which refer to the general principles on this subject matter, i.e., safeguarding the best interest of the child, non-discrimination, and efficiency in legal processes. Reference is also made to the fact that the lack of regulation on other issues, such as surrogacy and post-mortem insemination, poses complex challenges for Colombian family courts.
