Members serve a maximum of four years and are eligible for reappointment for a further term of four years.
One of the major achievements of the Committee has been the promotion of the UNESCO 1954 Hague Convention and its additional 2nd Protocol, which was finally ratified by the Government of Ireland in August 2018.
