The Convention on the recognition of registered partnerships (French: Convention sur la reconnaissance des partenariats enregistrés) is a multilateral convention, drafted by the International Commission on Civil Status which provides the acceptance in other countries of any form of registered partnership, which is not a marriage[1] Parties to the convention should recognize the partnership, as well as the consequences regarding name change not only towards other state parties, but with regards to partnerships in any state. The partnership can be between partners of the same or of opposite sex.
