CRC Article = 11
Note:
The illicit transfer and non-return of children abroad refers to the problem of the abduction of children across frontiers by one of their parents. States Parties are required to take measures to combat the illicit transfer and non-return of children abroad, including the conclusion of bilateral or multilateral treaties or accession to existing treaties. Existing treaties include: the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (1980); the European Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Decisions Concerning Custody of Children and on Restoration of Custody of Children (1980); and the Inter-American Convention on the Return of Children (1989).
