Abstract
Introduction. The present study analyzes the legal foundations of attorney's involvement in the regulation of child-related disputes within global international organizations such as the United Nations and the Hague Conference on Private International Law. The author notes that each of these international organizations contributes a differentiated role in the development of relevant legal regulation.
Materials and methods. In the course of research, the following methods of scientific cognition were used: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalizations, analogies and others. The general scientific and special-legal methods, such as system-structural, method of dogmatic analysis (interpretation of legal norms, legal and technical constructions, etc.), comparative legal, formal, legal, logical, etc. formed the methodological basis of the research.
Results of the study. The analysis of international treaties has revealed a variety of approaches to the formation of legal foundations for the participation of a lawyer in resolving disputes about children. For instance, the UN focuses its activities on general issues of ensuring the protection of human rights, including specific categories of individuals (such as children), as well as on establishing an international institutional structure that ensures universal oversight of compliance with these rights. Meanwhile, the procedural basis for a lawyer's involvement at the level of international law, with respect to childrelated disputes, is established within the framework of the international treaties of the Hague Conference on Private International Law.
Discussion and conclusion. The study demonstrates that the implementation of the norms of international treaties of the GCPM and UN documents at the supranational and national levels allows for the harmonization of the practice of involving lawyers in the settlement of civil, commercial and family disputes, including disputes concerning children.
