Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The note examines the complex legal and emotional challenges surrounding international parental child abduction, emphasizing the limitations of existing legal frameworks like The Hague Convention and the need for a more comprehensive approach to address this growing issue. It highlights the psychological and jurisdictional complexities involved, particularly when countries like China and Russia are not signatories to the Convention. The analysis advocates for stronger enforcement mechanisms, international cooperation, and preventive measures to protect children and families affected by such abductions.
