Our Position Paper \u2018Double Subsidiarity Principle and the Right to Identity<\/a>\u2019 is essential to our Research Paper \u2018Raising Awareness about False Birth Registration Practices, known as the Brazil Baby Affair<\/a>\u2019. Originally it was a textbox part of our contribution to ISS\u2019 handbook \u2018Responding to Illegal Adoptions<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

However, International Social Services (ISS)<\/a> has rejected the textbox, declined it for publication in the handbook ‘Responding to Illegal Adoptions’<\/a> and thereby de facto censored our Position Paper \u2018Double Subsidiarity Principle and the Right to Identity\u2019.<\/p>\n

Before publication, ISS refused to provide any written explanation on this matter. Subsequently, the original reference to our Position Paper, which was left after ISS\u2019 censorship, was removed from our Research Paper, without authorization, and banned to a footnote.<\/p>\n

After publication, ISS has been informed that we have publicly shared our concerns regarding their controversial institutional stance \u2013 forming the reason for their censoring \u2013 disregarding the subsidiarity principle of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in Intercountry Adoption (ICA) cases.<\/p>\n

The UNCRC forms the international human rights framework for ICA. Disrespecting the UNCRC potentially endangers children to being trafficked for ICA.<\/p>\n
