The published literature on these topics, including the children's objections exception, is explored, as are the ways in which these challenges are addressed within some of the 101 Contracting States … Show more

“…For the purposes of this article, we have identified two specific areas of concern for which the marked changes in societal approach and understanding since the Convention's introduction require urgent consideration in the context of its operation: (i) The intersection between domestic/familial violence and the exception to return in cases of international child abduction in Article 13(1)(b); and (ii) the adoption of practices to enable abducted children and young people to receive information about, and be given effective opportunities to express their views and be heard in, Convention cases (Freeman and Taylor 2020). It is to these issues that we now turn.…”

“…It is questionable whether, and how far, the child objection exception in Article 13 can be said to fulfil the requirement in Article 12 of the UNCRC relating to the child's right to participate in decisions concerning them (Schuz 2013). Practice surrounding even this limited form of hearing the child in international child abduction proceedings varies dramatically among the 103 Contracting Parties to the Convention (Freeman and Taylor 2020;Schuz 2023;Taylor and Freeman 2018b). Thus, the question of whether, and to what extent, the Convention is, in fact, compatible with the UNCRC remains unclear (Skelton 2023) 7 notwithstanding pronouncements to the contrary by some courts.…”

“…Estos casos de sustracción son a menudo un intento desesperado del progenitor, principal figura de referencia, para que el niño experimente una nueva vida, ofreciéndole un marco de vida en el que pueda desarrollar su personalidad en un entorno más favorable, o al menos no tóxico. Resulta paradójico que ante situaciones de este tipo se dé preferencia al derecho del niño a tener contactos con ambos progenitores sobre el derecho del niño a ver satisfechas sus necesidades materiales y afectivas, y a que se le proporcionen los medios necesarios para su normal desarrollo físico y mental 103 .
