The [http://www.hcch.net/index_en.php?act=conventions.text&cid=24 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction] says what signatory countries must do when someone has wrongfully taken a child into that country. The convention explains how someone from the departure country can make an application for an order in the destination country for the return of the child. It outlines the defences that can be made to an application, the different orders the court in the destination country can make, and the factors that court must consider in making those orders. | The [http://www.hcch.net/index_en.php?act=conventions.text&cid=24 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction] says what signatory countries must do when someone has wrongfully taken a child into that country.
