The aim of the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, to date ratified by 97 countries including all EU Member States, is to restore the status quo by mean of the prompt return of wrongfully removed or retained children through a system of cooperation among central authorities appointed by its Contracting Parties. As the prevention of child abduction is an essential part of the EU policy to promote the rights of the child, the European Union is active at international level to improve the application of the Convention and encourages third States to accede to it. The acceptance of Croatia, the Netherlands, Portugal and Romania would render the Convention applicable between San Marino and all EU Member States except Denmark. |
