Please join the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Children’s Issues as
they dive into the complexities of international parental child abductions.
This session will cover the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of
International Child Abduction, for which the U.S. Department of State serves as
the U.S. Central Authority. The convention provides a civil remedy for securing
the prompt return of “wrongfully removed” or “wrongfully retained” children to
their countries of habitual residence, and also addresses “access rights.”
Participants will learn about opportunities to help families in need through the
Hague Convention Attorney Network, a national volunteer attorney network.
This webinar was hosted using Zoom.
