International Child Abduction:
International child abduction is a distressing phenomenon characterized by the unauthorized removal or retention of a child across national borders. This act often occurs within the context of familial disputes, where one parent takes the child without the consent of the other, leading to complex legal and emotional challenges. The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is a critical international treaty designed to facilitate the prompt return of abducted children to their country of habitual residence.
