Interparental child abduction and the interventions of the 1980 Hague Convention

Abstract

The theme of this article is interparental child abduction and the interventions of the 1980 Hague Convention. The following problem was investigated: “What are the practical consequences of the application of the Hague Convention?”. The following hypothesis was considered: “Are the protections in place capable of resolving cross-border conflicts or do they corroborate child trafficking?” The general objective is to characterize the burdens and bonuses in trying to protect infants. The specific objectives are: “to obtain information about the practical reality of the facts”; “explore the mandatory return of the child to the country of origin”; “analyze whether the exceptions are sufficient to protect the infant”. This work is important for professionals in the field due to the relevance and urgency of the subject; for science, it is relevant for contributing to the academic and practical understanding of interparental child abduction; adds to society due to the fact that it has the potential to generate a tangible positive impact, promoting the protection of children. This is theoretical qualitative research lasting six months.
