What is the Hague?

The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an international treaty designed to protect children from wrongful removal or retention across international borders by a parent or guardian. Its primary purpose is to ensure the prompt return of children to their country of habitual residence, where custody matters can be properly resolved by the appropriate courts. The Convention establishes legal procedures and cooperation between participating countries to address international child abduction cases and uphold parental rights.
