About the Monograph.
Parental child abduction, particularly across international borders, occurs when a parent unlawfully removes or retains a child in a foreign jurisdiction, often violating custody arrangements. It falls under the purview of international family law. It is governed globally by the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, 1980, which seeks to ensure the prompt return of abducted children to their habitual residence.
Eligibility
Academicians, legal practitioners, policymakers, students, research scholars, NGOs, and stakeholders with expertise or interest in child rights and family laws are encouraged to contribute.
