- Abstract
- In Europe, international child abduction is regulated by a plurality of legal frameworks. Alongside the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (hereafter the Convention) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the EU Regulations Brussels IIbis2 and Brussels IIter,3 and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), enter the playing field. This chapter focuses on the ECHR, especially Article 8 on the right to respect for family life and, to a lesser extent, Article 6 on the right to a fair trial as these are significant in assessing the adequacy of responses by national authorities. This chapter discusses the highlights in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR, or the Court) between 20004 and 2022.5 The discussion contains two parts. The first concerns the ECtHR’s role in civil cases like child abduction and then turns specifically to the elements of the right to respect for family life (Article 8 ECHR) and the right to a fair trial (Article 6 ECHR) that are relevant in child abduction disputes. The second part considers the Convention’s exceptions to return and the way in which the ECtHR interprets them.
