The Hague Convention
The Hague Convention, formally known as the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, is a multilateral treaty developed by the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH). The Convention aims to protect children from international abduction by a parent or guardian by providing a legal framework to ensure their prompt return to their habitual residence. Here’s an expanded overview of the key principles and procedures governed by the Hague Convention with a focus on international child custody:
Signatory countries of the Hague Convention ensure:
- Custody and access rights under each country’s laws are respected
- Timely return of children who were wrongfully retained or removed
- Commitment to efficient implementation of treaty procedures
According to the Hague Convention, removal of a child is wrongful if:
- Custodial rights were exercised or could have been exercised at the time of removal
- Removal violated rights of a person/entity under laws of the country where the child resided prior to removal
Cooperation among signatory countries under the Hague Convention varies, depending on the country.If you’re grappling with an issue, don’t hesitate to consult with our experienced legal team.
