International Child Abduction and Your Rights
The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is a treaty that provides a universal process for the return of a child who has been abducted and taken to another country. More than 80 countries have ratified the Hague Abduction Convention.
The Hague Convention does not address any of the legal issues directly related to the custody dispute. It is only concerned with returning the child to his or her country of habitual residence. Even if the parent can prove that the abduction has contributed to the child's safety, the Convention will leave those issues to be addressed by the local court.
