custody because of individuals who are involved in this matter. Such kind of unlawful child
removal does not have a victim on the one side and a culprit on the other side as happen in
conventional kidnaping crimes. In child abduction every one is a victim, the parent who remove
the child the one who loses his/her child and the children who become rolling stone between
parents. On the occasion of European council meeting in “Tampere” in October 1992, it was stated
that child abduction and retention are harmful reaction of the free movement of individuals with
in European Union. It also happens worldwide as the people are increasing their movements from
one country to other and making international families. Therefore, like many other global legal
issues, the basic purpose of world governments was to establish a global institution for resolving
international abduction disputes. On 24th October 1980, the MS to the Hague Conference PIC
accepted a convention on the civil aspect of international child abduction (6). On the other hand,
some European Union members were ready to introduce more strict rules and regulations for the
process of return of abducted children’s. So, as a result on 1st March 2005, Regulation Concerning
Jurisdictions (RCJ), Recognition and enforcement in judgment of Matrimonial Matters (REJ MM)
and the matter of Parental Responsibilities (MPR) were in action but Russian Federation was not
a part of this process in these days. In 2017, draft about child abduction was introduced in Russian
State “DUMA” for the accession to the abduction convention by the Russia. The “Removal” and
“Retention” are two different legal concepts (8). A common word abduction /removal are being
used in this paper because they are followed by the same legal consequence i.e a swift return of
child. These terms will be used separately when the occasion comes. What is unlawful/wrongful
removal or retention is stated in article (3) in abduction convention and article 2(11) regulation
states the same. The unlawful abduction or retention of child must be considered in the scenario

The concept of custody rights under the named instruments, it has a quasi-autonomous and much

I chose to use the terms for both courts which are involved for resolution the matters of child
abduction i.e “requesting courts/states refers to the court of origin and requested courts for return
of child.” It have been noticed that mostly parents are involved in abduction disputes (11). The term
non-convention/non-Hague country/state refers to the countries that are not signatory party to the
abduction convention and Vice Versa. Child abduction is equal to parental kidnapping, child
snatching, child stealing, wrongful removal or wrongful retention refer to illegal removal of
children from their home by an acquaintance or family member to a foreign country. The abducted
child suffer from alienation emotionally and physically. Abduction snatches from child, the sense
of history, intimacy, values and morals, self-awareness, opportunity of knowing once beginning
love and conflict of extended family. Hague convention on the civil aspect of international child
abduction 1980, make sure swift return of children who have been abducted from their native
residence or wrongfully or illegally retained in a state that is not their country of habitual
residence(12).

Conversely, following research questions will be explored hypothetically for the dissertation
What is Status of Parental Child abduction and international human rights law?
Chapter 2
The emerging issue of parental child abduction should be understood in the background of
society’s definition of the owner of child, the changing nature of modern family and gender role
from the Roman Time, “The doctrine of Patriea Potestas” was adopted in English common law.
This doctrine gave the authority to the father for custody of child rather than mother. This legal
concept was imported to the American colonies later where this theory of parental custody
remained dominant until the early part of 20th century. Throughout this period both women and
children were considered as men’s property and in this sense, the male had fundamental right to
control and make decision for his family. During the earlier year of 20th century the doctrine of
custody rights was replaced with “Tender Years Doctrine” which explicitly acknowledges mother
primary role as birth parent and caretaker in the early years of child. More over this was supported
by new psychological theories that states the primary importance of young children’s emotional
In 1960’s and 1970’s, the “women rights movement” started and demanded gender
equality. It had revolutionary impact upon family relation, moreover the introduction of “no fault
Divorce” and equal division of property laws in the early 1970’s. The new legal principal of “Best
interest of the child” was adopted by unfiled state courts to decide custody rights after parent’s
separation. So for the first time in the history, there was no gender priority for custody of child.
During the next two decades, divorce rate doubled and stabilized at the rate of about 4 of every 10
result, by the later half of 20th century almost 6 in every 10 children experienced living in single
parent home for almost the part of growing years. Moreover the greater number of mothers inters
the work free and father had to play great role in their children’s upbringing. At the beginning of
21th century, the custody or shared parental care taking became more widespread but divorced and
never married parents were also moving geographically. As a result, when the parents separated,
there was always a dispute over the custody of children. Most of the custody disputing parent
appeal in the family courts for resolving their issues but some individuals took law in their hands
In these cases Pakistani legislative system could not meet the international procedural law’s and
transitional jurisdictional issues inherent in international child abduction cases. So, multiple legal
concepts like, nationality, parallel jurisdiction, habitual residence, welfare of minor and interest of
Since Pakistan icon signatory sate of Hague convention, the foreign court order for left behind
parental child custody “is useless”. Because Pakistan courts decide children cases in light of
domestic laws. The only viable legal remedy available to the left behind parent is to file application
in family cours under section 25 of Guardian and Act 1890 for custody of abducted child and to
file Habeas Corpus Petition to High court under Article 199 of conslilution or under section 491
of the code of criminal procedure, 1898 for the recovery of abducted child. Therefore, Pakistan
legal framework is clearly in adequate and ineffective to deal with such cases of child abduction
and retention which requires a solid and swift judicial determination to mitigate the ill effect of
abduction (15).
first come, first serve basis. Therefore the parent party which first brings their claim to the
convention gains advantage. This principal should also be applied in Pakistan. These cases were
made easier due to U.K Pakistan Judicial Protocol on children matter which was based on Principal
of Hague convention but lacked a sufficient central authority. Further signifying a need for
Pakistan to adopt a Hague convention principles. Pakistan is undecided to adopt the Hague
convention as the district courts which some time gives relevance to its principles and sometimes
defy them. By signing Hague convention cases involving Pakistani left behind parent and children
abducted from Pakistan would be determined more consistently expedicialy and effectively by the
In modern governments the credibility of a country is rated on the base of its accordance
with international convention and treaties. Pakistan therefore suffers when many of foreign parents
do not approach domestic courts. Furthermore the country’s domestic law are not clear about the
distinctive fact of transitional child abduction cases by magnifying the interests of the child,
moreover most domestic courts raise the question of jurisdiction and diminish the efficiency of
family law’s. on the other hand Pakistan holds a large number of national overseas, increasing
each day, the international community expects Pakistan to honor and complete its international
obligations to sign Hague Convention. It would be beneficiary for the better future of the children
who were suffering from the alienation due to the unavailability of an appropriate judicial forum.
With coming into The Hague convention, Pakistan will be able to deal with such matters with
complete knowledge and sufficient judicial instruments to the foreign parents left behind at the
domestic courts are fully capable of deciding the fact of their abductive child irrespective of race,
Pakistan is common wealth country and according to the rule, the Prime Minister and his
cabinet can become state party to any international convention and treaties. Such an action relies
solely upon the will of Prime Minister or the other head of Government. As a result Pakistan does
not need a separate legislation under the Guardian and Ward Act because it is a federal Statue and
not a provincial subject under 18th amendment rather it must be mentioned on the foot note of 25
of the act that Pakistan is signatory to the Hague Convention to mention the judiciary and legal
fraternity to apply for the conventions rule and procedures in case of a conflict created by the
foreign judgment on the child abduction! or there are foreign left behind parents appealing for
custody of child on the basis of foreign nation in Pakistan. With the entrance to The Hague
Convention Pakistan will be able to extend its international regime of commitments with
international community but also give an alternative pathway to Pakistani national to avail
If Pakistan has some reservation on Hague convention, the government may take a plea to insert
these reservation in the Hague convention, ratify this convention and the part of reservation will
International child abduction history in the recent past, Swedish parliament conducted a
survey that indicates that international child abductions and retention are increasing rapidly both
in Sweden and abroad. The central season behind the growth of international child abduction is
international mobility of people or in the words of politician “Global Love Traffic”. Most of the
children engaged in these types of disputes bear more than two nationalities or at least their parents
have different nationalities. After the separation or divorced, the foreign parents usually tries to go
back to their home country and take children with them. Statistics show that half of the abductors
are father and most of abducting parents exercise joint or sole control over the children. It must be
noted that the harms of abductions are different. When the abducting parents are the only ones who
Before the adoption of abduction convention the left behind parents had rare possibility for
the retention or get back their child at home. Therefore at the end of 1970’s, under the directions
of Hague Convention conference its M.S took decision for the need of an institution that can
protect abducted children and their left behind parents. However the main purpose of the institution
was to achieve something more than the traditional individual approach towards children rights.
Therefore it was decided that the children rights. Therefore, it was decided that the children
convention should protect collective interest of all children’s from being removed from their
homes by their own parents. This later interpretation of child rights seems evident even more in
the Regulation which strict return rules and its interpretation by the “ECJ” in its case law has
shown that its not worth with removing child with in “EU” without the concept of other parents.
It would be a great mistake to present this study without analyzing the main principal of
all legal instruments that is a “Best interest of Child”. Our study will show that the explanation of
the concept of the present abduction convention. We can find some guidance regarding the
interpretation of the best interest of the child under the instrument in question. This is usually
found in the relevant case law. Nevertheless, the outcome of such assessments commonly depends
on the individual condition of the case. Furthermore in case of abduction matter the meaning of
their concept is explained according to a principal set in the relevant instruments which is to
expedite the process of return of child to its habitual residence. This principle is strictly in
accordance with the _____ and purpose of the relevant abduction treaties. Which is to stop the
The article (3) of UNCRC is a fundamental parameter to define the principal of the “Best
intrest of the child” in the documents. However it is often critized because of its general character
which suggest liberly to each “CS” to explain it according to its domestic legal, social and cultural
traditions, but it is also viewed as a guiding principal to the other article in the body that include
a fore said principles. Therefore this principal is present in the provisions related to abduction
issues. In the article 9-12, the article 9 states the need to protect the children from unnecessary
separation with their parents. The provision gives two examples of when such types of separation
However the article 10(2) says that the child can maintain its relation with a parent living
abroad but it must not go against the best interest of the child. The article (11) make its
necessary for S.P to fight for illegal child removed and retention through the process of bilateral
or multilateral contracts. The article 12 states that a child of mature age and with healthy mental
condition has a right that is expressed opinion/in all matters that concern him/will be given due
weightage. However it is the domestic legal structure of SP that regulate how such hearing
should take place. The provision states that both the public and private factors should come
forward for the care of the best interest of the child and its parents and it should be strictly
The European convention on the human rights does not have the principle as such but it
includes it under the meaning of the article (8) that deals with, “Inter Alia” right private life.
Generally the ECHR court has given many evaluation and comments on the provision of
abduction convention in its case law. As for as the principal of the best interest of the child is
concern, the ECHR court has given, in the opinion of some PiL Lawyers, a revolutiory
assessment of the principle under the article (8) of ECHR in one side and the article (30) of
Chamber case “Neu-linger and shuruk vs. Switerzerland (21)” the ECHR court underlined
the overwhelming importance of the best interest of the child not to be returned in relation to
the principle of swift return under the abduction convention. Previously in the case “Momosion
and Washington Vs. France” and “Neulinger and Shuruk Vs. Switzerland” the court gave
importance to the swift return of the child under the article of (30) of the abduction convention,
even though it might have affected the family life of one of the parents under the article of (8)
of ECHR. However in the second of “Neulinger and Shuruk Vs. Switzerland” the court passed
the ruling that in particular situatuin the return of the child as well as the mother would break
both the article 13(1)(B) of the abduction convention and the article (8) of ECHR. (22)
The regulation has in its recital (12) and (13) a specific criterion on how should explain the
principle of the best interest of the child under the regulation. Therefore the criterion of
the parental responsibility. Thus the main rule is the jurisdiction should lie with the court of
the child’s habitual residence, because it look to the most suitable to fulfil the interest of the
child. But there are some exception in this rule, if a child’s habitual residence is changes or its
parents sign an agreement for another Jurisdiction. There is also another exception in this rule
when a court decides to transfer the jurisdiction to another court that appears to the better place
to hear the case. Moreover we will be able to see from the below discussed elite court of justice
The abduction convention states that the protection of the best interest of child has its
fundamental purpose. However the principle changes according to the context of abduction.
Situations which is stated in the article (1) that states to protect the child’s right to
stability/status que through his/her return to the habitual residence as well as its relation with
both of its parent’s through the source of custody and access rights. It is also important to note
that there is no internal relationships between the two objectives since they both try to protect
the very same goal. Furthermore the preface of the instrument is question counter balances
stating that the aim of the document s is to prevent the harmful effect of abduction and net the
abduction as such explaining that some time removal or retention of child might protect its
rights in best interest. Accordingly it follows that a primary aim of best interest of child which
might sometime mean that the abducted child will not be returned to the state from where
he/she was unlawfully removed. This principle also states that the kidnapped children should
be allowed to stay where they are, if it is in the best interest of the child. (24)
In the Swedish legislation, the principle of the best interest of child has been in practice
since 1910. However its definition changed in different law areas, with respect to abduction
matters, these cases did not utilized the principle of the child interest as an independent
interpretation whether the principle was related with the interest of the custodian. According
to Scheratzki “ in the background of this wide legal diversion as well as the court wide authority
over the interpretation of the best interest of the child, the principle can be divided into an
active and a passive part. Therefore, the active rights, for example the care for child person or
good upbringing or the rights specified only for children’s. The passive rights are those which
However most of the last type of cases were covered by the Swedish custody disputes.
Furthermore, the courts had tendency to utilize the principle of the best interest of the child for
legalizing there discretionary assessments. A social legal study on the Swedish D.C’s
estimation of the best interest of the child’s has indicated that the Judges in there verdicts were
using only legal sources at in its turn reflect only the general needs of child. According to the
Swedish children comity the Swedish courts have not been able to handle the abduction matters
cases from the point of view of the child. Thus there were many amendments made in the law
concerning the child’s best interests. There amendments are applicable in abduction matters.
The chapter no 06 and 15 of the parental code procedures the parents living with the child’s to
promote the child contact with non-resident parents or any other person close to the child. As
a result the parent who does not respect the child’s right to meet the other family member, that
parents might face difficulty when there is an issue concerning the unlawful removal or
retention of child. It has also been mentioned in the preparatory work of the amendments of
the code that a parent who tries to spoil another parent lose the right to reside with the child.

Lithuanian courts interpretation of the best interest of the child’s might be found in a fresh
custody case “Add judicated” by the Lithuanian Supreme Court. The main matter discussed in
the proceeding was about priorities as to the best interest of the child regarding the selection
of custodian. The court had to decide on who of the applicants should become a guardian over
an infant girl, only a three month old baby tragically lost her parents in car accident. The court
has given references to all major national and international provisions on the protection of best
interest of the child. First of all the court took help from UNCRC’s article (3) on general need
of protection of best interest of child. The article (12) of the said convention on the child right
to express its opinion and the article which guarantees the state protection of children without
custodian. It is also said in the article (8) of the EHRC in a sense that SP should perform
positive role to look after the children’s right to tuneful family life. The fundamental national
document s managing children’s requirements in guardianship matters are the portal measures
in the article (38) paragraph (2) on the states responsibility to protect family life, of the
Lithuanian constitution (52) and the act of protection of the children rights and also family
code. For explanation, from the latter’s Article 3249, on the tenet of guardianship resolution,
follows that the measures are the best interest of the child is perfect and therefore gives value
more than all other related measures. The privileged position of child’s interest is also make
sacred, according to the court. In the article (3) paragraph (1) of the UNCRC cooperatively
with the article (33) paragraph (1) of family code and article (4) paragraph (1) of the child
protection Act. So, with regard to the inter alia named condition the court decided that the
mainly appropriate custodian is the one, who fairly estimated factual circumstances, appears
to be mostly proficient of offering an extensive and balanced life to the child in question.
Actually, the fact that a girl’s separation from a family with whom she has been living for two
years did not give any value the girl estimated requirements for a better-adjusted family life.

Definition of Parental Abduction
visitation rights of another parent of family member” (Gridner, 1994 b, P. 1-11). Abductors, if
from the family member or their other representative (e.g girlfriend, boyfriend, grand parent,
or even a private investigator), despite the fact that in many cases parents himself are found
abductors (Gridner 1994c). In some state’s criminal law they use the term “Custodial
such crime and may comprise events in which children are took away from the parents. Such
manacle can also be outline to entail hurdle with a court order of visitation or access.
The most embracive test of the limit of parental abduction is the national incidence studies
Hotaling and sedlak, 1990). A nationwide survey of house hold, conducted telephonically in
1988. Produced assessment of the member of family abduction (to both domestic and
“Broad scope” or “Policyfocal”. Broad scope cases it is evident that there are so many cases in
which family member either 1 took a child away in the breach of guardianship agreement or
any Court order or 2 sometime failed to return the child the end of any legal proceeding or any
agreement about visitation (in violation of custody agreement or decree) and had kept the child
away. NISMART researchers have an opinion that 354100 children experienced and abduction
under this definition. this division embrace so many cases that would be take into account of
abduction under even the extensive statutes and also many in which law enforcement agencies
and prosecutors would not be involved (either because these cases would not fall under more
stringent legal definition or because agencies and prosecutors would use there distinction not
to pursue them). policy focal cases there are some types of cases which seems fit to the broad
scope definition but also have at least one of the following distinguishes 1. when someone try
to hide the taking or surrounding of the child and impede to do contact with child 2.if the child
was transported out of the state or 3. it is noticed that the abducted plans to keep the child out
of boundaries vaguely or to permanently effect guardianship rights are benefits about 46%
(163200) of the broad scope cases fell within this narrow definition ( Finkelhor,Hotaling, and
Sedlack, 1991).
Parental child abduction is not restraint to any specific socio economic or moral groups.
however some researchers pointed out so many common values among both abductor and
victims.
The NISMART study pointed out that half of victims (abducted child) were under the age
of 8 and about a quarter were under the age of 4 ( Finkelhor, Hotaling and Sedlack,1990). other
researchers in their studies pointed out that these children who were between the age of 3 and 5
were most likely to be inducted with infant and adolescents being the least likely to be taken
(Agopian and Anderson,1981). Quantitative studies and data which was collected from both
domestic and international cases disclose that both abducting and left behind parents tend to be in
their thirties (Agopian and Anderson, 1981: Finklehor, Hotaling and Sedlack,1990: Chiancone and
Gridner,2000).
2.4.4 Gender of Child and Abductor:
The NISMART study told that a heavy percentage of boys 58% then girls 42% were victim
of their real parents abduction . Data taken from NISMART also exhibits higher percentage of
male abductor 72% than female abductor 28% with former husband and boyfriends comprising
the group 42% followed by present husband and boyfriends 21%. Female abductors in all cases
found only one quarter of abduction ( Finkelhor,Hotaling and Sedlack,1990). A study was arranged
specially at international abduction they pointed out in their study that equal number of male and
Hegar and Grief in 1994 found a high point of cross cultural marriages among 371 families
in the study that had lived through parental abduction point 47 13% in such cases comprise doors
couple who deferred with each other in race and ethnicity, compared with national rate of 8% us
bureau of sensors, 1989 point cross cultural marriages regarded for 16% 59 of 371 families. Hegar
and Grief 1994 also described that ratio of the foreign abduction were so highy for racially or
ethnically inter married abductors about 50% then for total about 20%. Chiancone and Girdner's
2000 also showed in their study of international abductions a higher rates of cross cultural and
international marriages Janvir, McCromick, and Donaldson's 1990 collected a data from survey of
65 left behind parents nationwide, pointed out a difference between domestic and international
matters point the data shows that such parents were found in somewhat more than one quarter 26%
of international issues, compared with the 48% of domestic issues and that in very narrow to one-
fifth 19% of international matters the parents who were married at the time of the abduction, in
comparison with only 2% for domestic issues. Johanson 1999 pointed out so many dangerous
factors for parental abduction see page 3. In all these cases, we often find an abductor having
emotional are financial relationship in other country. 2.6 ongoing parental conflict. Both Grief and
Hegar 1993 and Finkelhor,Hotaling, and Sedlack 1990 discovered higher numbers 41% and 54%of
parental abductions occurring during the period between marriage and divorce ,the special time
when high conflict can take place. Johnston, Campbell and Mayes 1985 said in their results that
the children from those families who have higher level ongoing parental quarrels e.g litigation for
guardianship, physical or verbal violence acted by one parent towards other on non-alliance of
family formations that excludes any parent are at higher risk of abductions, even with the regular
parental visitation or joint guardianship agreements. Chiancone and Girdner 2000 pointed out the
values same to those expressed above reflected in reported issues of international child abduction.
The main reason in parental abduction, founded through different studies are motivated in
an effort to force a reconciliation or to continue interaction with the left behind parent (
Agopian,1981;Sagatun and Barrett,1990. in father illustration, AGopian 1981 and Sagatun and
Barrett, 1990 examined that the abductor wish to blame, spite or punish to left behind parent.
abducting parent specially father feels fear to lose legal guardianship rights, thereby facing a
diminish parenting role with their child. Janvier, McCormick,and Donaldson 1990 and Sagatun
and Barrett 1990 have also pointed out this as a factor of abduction. In excessive cases, it has been
examined that abduction could be the result of delusion of distrust or personality disorders
Agopian, 1984: Johnston,1994, Sagatun and Berrett,1990 or total disagreed for the law
Blomquist,1992;kiser,1987. Another factor of this motivation is a try to protect the child from
those parent who is careless, harasses the child, or neglect the child and in few cases this motivation
maybe a legitimate concern Agopian, 1981; Sagatun and Barrette,1990. Some abductors feel fear
that authority don't take their concerns seriously Sagatun Edwards,1996. American district
attorney research institute APRI conducted a research who founded that 27% abducting parent and
get that child abuse in parental season matters in many cases these allegations for made against
left behind parent but 17% of cases for those were both parent allottees made allegations of abuse
against each other line, 1995. Such numbers are found similar for domestic violence also. almost
1 quarter of cases found involved to make allegations of domestic violence against the doctor, and
other one quarter were found in want to make allegations against left behind parent point 11%

In the sense this act is known as rescue the child from other parent instance, 1994 the data used by
palash, can call her, and hotelling 1997 was taken from n i s m a r d national sample to point out
the demographic and family characteristics that shows that the risk of child abduction exist or not.
the research pointed out an increasing risk of attraction in families with white collar, especially in
younger children under 5 years old having the bad experience of violence in adults of home. A less
number of fear of abduction was found in large size families. Families with three or more children.
Despite defect that some psychological factor may also be a part of parent and child abduction but
this study specifically focuses on sociological factors. The most significant factor found in this
study was great similarity in the risk factors pointed out for both kinds of parental abduction broad
scope and policy focal point the author identified that this study sets arrangements of kalia
evidence that there may be on close relation of etilogy of all types of parental abduction and steps
intend to impede or control such events those which comes in the notice of official agencies can
be effective to help those families who experience less risk but still alarming, abductions (
Plass,Finkelhor, Hotaling 1997:347. All Grief and Hegar 1993; Hatcher, Barton and Brooks1993;
and Kiser 1987 pointed out that in more than half of abduction cases, domestic violence was
reported in their study. Grief and Hegar1993 marked that almost 75% of mail and 25% of female
abductor had shown their violent behavior in the past.............. Said in their study that 66% of the
domestic cases, and 23% in international cases, child abuse was reported. so, in spite of these
apparent condition of family violence, it is not a clear factor to determine the risk in abduction
matters.Johanson's 1994 study marked that the level of the violence found in different families was
not too much different who were involved in parent and child abduction and those families who
In the recovery of abducted child, the basic hindrance is the general public understanding

to general public view the parent cannot be the abductor anyways. All the legal structure is of the
view that such matter should be considered as 7 in nature and private family issues should be
handled outside the realm of criminal justice system..... It seems of serious misunderstanding.
abduction can be emotionally dangerous to both coma for children and left behind parent as well
point specifically, in these cases where force is used to carry out the abduction, though the child is
covered up are held away for a long period of time. it is marked in the daughter taken from
NISMART that only 14% parent used force in parental abduction matters and 17% use compelling
threats or demands.... although comma in 50,000 cases comma force was used nationally and in
more than 60000 cases threats and demands were involved.... 2.7.4 left behind parent..... survey

the persons interests it is clearly expressed in the article 93 that how the UN crc suppose the Hague

not only support to the signatory states it also provides assistance to the non signatory States for
the safely recovery of child to the left behind parent or other family members article 10 also has
significant importance and provides number 1 in accordance with the obligation of state party
under article 9 paragraph on that if an application is submitted by parents ooh child foreign gents

sure that children of working parents also have the same rights to benefit from all relevant
institution for which they are eligible this article encourages the all purpose and objectives of the
Hague convention related to the concept of parental right and duties it is evident as mentioned
before these articles assist the Hague convention to make sure the swift recovery of parent li
abducted child in spite of the Hague convention hey convention employing its procedure over most
other conventions. the African charter on human and peoples rights came into effect in October
1986 with 53 states of the organisation of the African Union o a u approving it whereas the earlier
mentioned convention is important the African charter on the rights and welfare of the child which
game into operation on 29 November 1999 has signed significant importance this convention is
only for South African and non Australia the three leading conditions of this Tata charter are the
best interests of child non discrimination and supremacy of the charter overall adverse culture
cultural practice and pattern the preamble describes that the situation in most African countries
relating remain kept us as a result of social of a geometric idiomatic factors which embraces they
are socio economic and cultural traditional and developmental circumstances and it also describes
that due to the child physical and mental maturity which needs to be provided on prior basis with
special care it is also pretend pre prodaind in the preamble data child in titles. a particular and
privileged portion in African society and for the careful upbringing and development of a child
they should provide a pleasant family environment atmosphere of love and understanding the
advancement and protection of rights and welfare of children also suggest thatthe execution of
these responsibilities rests on the part of all concern dirham dear in there in. children are hands
regarded most vulnerable group in need of protection. Article 191 grants every child has to be
entitled to the enjoyment of parental love relation Kiya Kiya care and protection at any time then
possibleshould have the right to live with them. No child will be separated from parents with
consent mint only in the case of any judicial order we are determined it according to law that the
separation is in the best interest of child. article 19 to providesevery child who is separated from
the parents must have the rights to keeppersonal relation and direct contact with parents living and
state in the world on regular basis.furthermore it is observed that this chapter has admitted the
problems of parent and child abduction and due to that it is just said that this Tata can be used in
sport of Hague convention in Nan convention African States to sport in a mechanism of its aim
undoubtedly the Hague convention managers without the help of these other conventions. The
charter is the first leading Andreessen agreement on the rights of child and is framed on the UN
crc model and shares its key underlying rules. Dahek mention is no longer implemented in the
United kingdom are in your pin Union the Hague convention is no longer implemented in the
United kingdom are in European Union. Brussels to the law is functioning in these countries
nowadays. Hey convention and Brussels to have significant importance in our international
conventions as well as playing vital role in international sphere. the Hague convention itself is
admitted reality internationally in the area of family law and has a wide range of applicable rules
across different countriesVRL parcel to is specific to the area of family law and is applicable in
European union only.it is pertinent to note here that the persons to also provides eloquent might to
the Hague convention in those issues that are related with child abduction, specially in Europe.the
rules of persons are originally taken from the German for 1992 to construct on 1968 Brussels
conventions on jurisdiction and enforcement of the judgments in civil and commercial issues. The
remoulded Brussels to regulation will also apply to and abduction case wear the same standard as
for the Hague convention apply but the abduction must be within the European Union
countries,and the request for the recovery must have been made after 1 March 2005.the basic
purpose of the European convention on recognition and enforcement of decisions relating to the
guardianship of children 1980 is the development care and welfare of the children through the
getting that knowledgement Court order and is implementation for the purpose of good response
to international child abduction smo directly for the reproduction of interrupted custody child.
therefore, the Hague convention overcomes this later convention, as it is famously approved and
well drafted to deal in the application related to in legal removal and Swift recovery of children.
in the USA the first most epic to provide the constant rules over use diction related to the effort to
provide the constant rules over jurisdiction relating to custody matters started with the uniform
child custody jurisdiction act u c c j aupdated in 1997 along with the uniform child custody
jurisdiction and enforcement act UCCJEA that was publicized and embraced in almost half of its
States. the UCCJ A permits to the atheist States jurisdiction related to custody if one of the four
possibilities if the child had been living in the same state within the six monthif the child had been
living in the same state within the six month commencement of custody proceedingsare the parents
are authorised persons also had continuous series site in the state.. 2 child child and parent historic
relation with same state and search state have meaningful evidence related to child future. 3 in the
case of emergency situation.for in the case if any other state don't have jurisdiction to make custody
order.the US international child abduction remedies act ICAI a 42 us page 11601 210and the Hague
convention both are signed on the same day by US government,Congress bestowed the authority
to state and federal court to hear cases under Hague convention and later on it became the law of
land in the July 1988.that's in the existence of earlier mentioned law the Hague convention still
upholds its procedure and assistance with international abductions in South Africa the children's
at 3:18 of 2005 which came into force on 1st April 2010,have prominent place in the law relating
to children's matters in South Africa. This act was framed out and implemented to protect the
specific rights of children as mentioned in the constitution of republic of South Africa 1996 and
also gives effect to the Hague convention. In the preamble of the act is stated that the constitution
is created on the society biggest democratic value, social justice and basic human rights and it
makes its best effort to improve the quality of human life of all the citizen. Section 28 of the
Constitution contains a child specific rights and puts responsibility on state to protect and fulfill
these rights, along with others rights of equality that are described in section 9 of the constitution.
The United Nation clearly declared in the universal declaration of human Rights that children are
entitled to special care and assistance. Jiska was also extended in the term of generic and
declarations on the rights of the child this care was also extended in the term of generic declaration
on the rights of the child in the universal declaration on the rights of the child and is also mentioned
in UN crc. I'm all about discussion Hague convention has occupied prominent place among gift
other international agreements treaties conventions and loss which are made for the development
of child and signifies that but an important and useful instrument it is and will remain. It also gives
dominant place to Hague convention due to its background purpose and objects. The major
problem which a conventional has to face sometime in its smooth function in the existence of many
non-signatory states of this convention. These states are safer as heaven for abductors. However it
is pertinent to point out that in the case of production between these states that are not still the part
of this convention on those countries who havemaid agreement between their own structured states
like African Union and Australia large European Union or, it must be dealt with the prescribed
rules of domestic law of each state for the best interest of child.3.2 legal framework in Pakistan
regarding child abduction. Pakistan approved the convention on the rights of the child on 12
November 1990 showing their miss trust on interpreting its provision following the principle of
Islamic laws and values. In 1997 Pakistan decided to remove its reservation MCT heartedly
welcomed this decision since it shows the intention to implement children's rights in Pakistan
without any condition. when the report was submitted to committee prior to date the state did not

11 of the constitution,not in clash with announcement of emergency or any other order madefrom
time to time shall can to do in 24 continue in force.however the basic rights conferred in the

before the military coup.after 11 September present Mishra decided to give it to so called war on
terrorism and has to face thevoluntary action and opposition from national islamist groups.at the
same time emergency was declared throughout the country to empower theinstitution to fight
against terrorism and to maintain law and order situation in Pakistan. in April 2002 in spite of
heavy criticism from human Rights activist and from opposition groups a referendum was
conducted by president giving him and other tenure of 5 years as president.mean by again amended
the constitution to get the new powers including the power to dissolve the parliament.in October
after the military coup the first general election was organised and in November, Mir Zafar lakhan
jamali took The oath of new prime Minister of Pakistan.after the election and establishment of
national assembly the constitution of 1973 was restored with numerous amendments.during the
years of military government they did not care about the abolishment of basic human Rights it
seems that their political agenda was only to focus on the rules against terrorism then on the
conflict either on the border of Afghanistan are in Jammu and Kashmir and specially children
among them.living in such conflict situation it creates hazards in the some basic rights of children
they have.
3.2.2 child soldiers. article 38 of the convention states that signatory parties salaries train from
recruiting children in army under the age of 15 years, but have not attend the age of 18 years,
priority will be given to the oldest. Pakistan signed the optional protocol on children in armed
conflict in 2001,describe their state parties will make sure to produce an order that those members
of army that have not reached xviii year will not take part in any hospitality.the report further
explains that the Pakistan national service act 1970 make sure that the age of recruitment in army
military with the convention and optional protocol.Pakistan is known as a major source of recruits
for different armed groupsinvolved in different kind of violence within country and in
neighbouring as well.o m CET special trying to know the role of thousands Islamic school in
Pakistan.it has been loved it that these mother saas Islamic school have emerged as centres of
regretting training of young fighters 2 sent in Afghanistan and Jammu and Kashmir.government
of Pakistan have tried so many time to construct framework for monitoring these madarsa Islamic
school but face is heavier position from islamist groups in country. mqm muhajir, movement is
also reported to recruit young fighters to create violation against Sindhi community. article 41 of
optional protocol provides that improve those are different from States armed forces are not
allowed to recruit are used person in hospitality under the age of 18 years. article 42 further
provides that state should practice our steps and make efforts to prevent such kind of recruitments
since Pakistan has not yet signed this protocol o m c t codes that Pakistan will try it doesn't respect
to these provisions. 3.2.4 refugee children.Pakistan has clearly declared in its official report that
government is going to develop one of the most generous policy for refugee children and has done
much more already for refugees children with limited resources. oem CT admit the fact that having
huge burden of its own population massive arrival of refugees especially from Afghanistan
overrated its burden. in the end of 2005 uni rights organisation set that Pakistani policies for
refugee are becoming hostile increasingly as Pakistani authority deported several Afghan refugees
in August 2001 Pakistani government to review the policies regarding refugees which would have
made more respect full of international standards but September 11 suddenly interrupted the
project the new war against terrorism in Afghanistan reverse the attention of international
community from parks and policies about refugee as for the refugees condition within the Pakistan
is concerned most of them are living without any registration and without any assurance of rights
and other assistance as well it is seen obviously that 50% of Afghan refugee children are living
without any child right which exposes the Pakistani policies directly affect the children right
human Rights commission report at that a little amount of refugee children are seen to go to school
actually many of them were sent to work for the family income the women's commission for
refugee women and the children pointed out that refugee children specifically residing in urban

The great illness of 20th century instituted in all of our suffering and have certain disposition
towards individual and society is the loss of soul. When we feel to hear the sound it does not go
away it appears in compulsive thoughts addiction violence and loss of meanings. I was giving to
be honoured the opening of 9th international Congress on the rights and protection of children held
in Hamburg Germany in October 1991, raised by international society for the emergence of child
abuse when this fact came to my notice that how international agencies co-operate and share their
expertise in trying to know the problems of child abduction and transnational jurisdiction. The
Congress marked many issues of importance and extent rate that child abuse can really be

Abduction by stranger. The abduction cases occurring in routines 9 days but strangers seems the
classic form of kidnapping in which the child is removed taken away help for ransom sexually
abused and then murdered. The elements in this crime involved taken away the children from
family community and is possible to the country and transported to the other country for the
purpose of sexual exploitation. parental child abduction.the at most frequent kind of child
abduction is parental child abduction which commonly happens when parent get separated or start
their divorce process through Court.it is possible to believe that parent object the child to seek
benefit in the expected legal proceeding for guardianship or they, share to use the child during the
long and lengthy process of court it is possible that a parent may deny to visit the child during
process afreen afreen with the child to stave off the access of visit of other parent. it is up to the
law of those countries that they consider this act as criminal offence or not.for example in UK
detention of the child for period not less than 28 days without consent of other parent is criminal
offence. many of US states have also recognised such kind of abduction as criminal offence. the
national conference of commissioners on uniform state laws has taken a responsibility to frame
out a uniform State law relating with parental abduction. international child abduction.the utmost
GRE problem starts when a child is abducted by parent and cross the international border because
the rules of every country are different from other show a foreign country order is worthless across
the border.the Hague convention on the civil aspect is an international agreement and provides
legal process to recover the abducted children from other state by one parent or by other family
member. the USA ratified this in 1988 and Japan is only ji seven Nation that is not a part of this
agreement.child abduction is considered as both civil and criminal law therefore of a child once
taken away by parent election it is often that as a civil matter.marriage is the only factor which
binds the both parents in responsibilities if a father is not married with the mother he does not have
any parent responsibility simply because of being father but is the essential for him to obtain it
through a court order or buy formal agreement with mother.it is only the course authority to pass
an order for a parent giving permission to take a child across border for specific period. in the case
of failure ordinal to return the child after the expiry of the court order it will be constituted in legal
custody of the child for the purpose of heat convention and Brussels to regulation.IFS code steel
share of abduction from taking child abroad beyond the jurisdiction of the court which is termed
as transnational jurisdiction can pass the order for both a single parent to not take the child
abroad.taking are sending a child abroad beyond the jurisdiction of his / her country without the
wheel of the person who is working as per intelligent or has a parent responsibility by god or by
parents amounts criminal offence.it is not commit tense of any offence we are the child is subject
of custody and a court in which cases under proceeding has given permission to remove the child
from the country. history of Hague convention.to identify the adverse effect of child abduction the
Hague convention inscribed an international agreement that provides the suitable legal procedure
and remedies for international child abduction and to unite the nation.the main purpose of the
convention entailed tracing abducted children in show their Swift recovery and return to the
Homeland and provide facility to access the rides it is a clearly stated in the preamble to protect
children internationally from the adverse effect of the illegal abduction or removal and to establish
procedure to make sure their Swift recovery and return to the state of their native home as well as
to secure the right of access. the Hague convention was considered conscript under the supposition
that the main transgressor of international child abduction was non-custodial father who does not
seem satisfied with the actual result of custody proceedings.the convention provides remedy of
return of child only in the case where such removal is determined in legal by judicial Court.illegal
/ wrongful is explained as only in the form of breach of rights of custody ascribed to a person.under
article 1 the main aims of the convention are to ensure the swift recovery and return of child in any
contracting state and make sure that the right of custody and access under the law are treated
respectfully uncontacted States.other names of the convention comprises protecting children from
adverse outcome of illegal detention prevention international parent and child abduction protecting
international community to make sure the swift recovery and return of child to his habitable
residence country and rights of access.the convention very clearly describes the differences
between the right to access and custody right because many critique so that the similarity of
protection main confuse the judicial authority to provide equal right for both parents.therefore the
remedy of the return against the violation of rights of access is not available in international
parental child abduction cases.article 21 of the convention emphasis on the importance of access
rights by spotting the exercise of these rights of non custodial parents.the Hague convention on the
civil aspect of international child abduction was approved in 1980 and US became the signatory
members on July 1st 1988.the Congress approved the international child abduction remedies act i

convention are linked with the system of Central authority. each member of the state depute a
central authority which works as a contact. for all application under above-mentioned convention
or treaties.those parents whose child has been removed from one convention country to the other
convention country and is hold their application will be submitted to the central authority of the

of actual condition and foreign law. d instructing council and attending the hearing. hey convention
also provides the legal assistance for return the child. the parents will bear the all expenditure of
case. in most countries the cost of the case is not required under hair convention. in USA legal aid
is generally not provided therefore many efforts have been made by us Central authority to provide
free legal assistance are at least at lowest rate. in fact cost of the case is liable maintaining the child
is not covered by the Hague convention or not by the revised Brussels II regulation.the applicant
has a right to put a request making an order for travel cost should be made against the person has
removed the child.the court can consider the application but is not bound to issue such an order.the
article 3.17 to of lithonia civil code describes that custodian must free the children to have free
contact with relation relative or other persons who are closed to them in the best interest
of child.in case of area of any complaints that child protection authorities other quote will pursue
the article 3.17 6 of the same code main order the parents to comply the obligation. although the
Russian federation is not as signatory party of child abduction convention but it does not spare
them to help the responsibility for any violation of right of children in context of international child
abduction.there are other so many international treaties legally binding its SP to act for the best
interest of child.uncc and specifically the ECS are the main documents that can be applied both
national and international course in Amritsar cases involving Russia. 10 case law from that is c h
r code 10 kesla from the e c h r code. the Russian federation is legally bound in the issues of
parental abduction relating to the best interest of the child. moreover the preference to the best
interest of the child under the u n c c was adopted on 23rd march 2011 at the finish Russian
conference of experts on international child and family law. the further recognised with other
things that child has a right to bit free relation with both parents with accept exceptions as if it goes
against the best interest of child. Russia has also shown its consent to join the abduction
convention. The question of ordinary residence has significant importance with regard to
international and parental abduction. The appraisal of case whether the bachchan is unlawful or
not will be according to the law of the state where the child was ordinary resident soon before the
retention or removal in accordance with article 3 paragraph on a of the abduction convention and
article 211 a of regulation. Since the abduction convention has not confirmed the explanation of
the term habitual residence the metal has become the puppet in hand of general public and judicial
authorities. According to the conventions explanatory Veera Pak report. Domain access in the
abduction meta must be that the child removal or retention against the consent of other custodian,
should not generally lead to the change in normal residence. From the point of view the significant
cars in assessing the ritual residence is time both the time return proceedings and the time spent in
new environment. the permanent stay of abducting parent in a new country is not too much
necessary in case where the child has no habitually at all are has more than one residence.
