Handling Hague abduction cases is challenging and fulfilling. Although Hague cases are tried very quickly, they still require an intimate knowledge of the Convention and of the voluminous case law that has developed around it. Hague cases also require a complete understanding of international child custody law in general and in particular, for U.S. practitioners, of the relationship between The Hague Convention and the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction & Enforcement Act. The Convention operates in the U.S. in ways that differ from those in other Hague countries. This is because of the federal legislation that implements the treaty, the concurrence of federal and state jurisdiction, the lack of a specialized group of judges who handle cases under the Convention, the uniform state legislation on child custody jurisdiction, and a host of other factors. When children are the subject of international family law disputes, the challenges are often great and emotions generally run high. Simply put, money can be divided but children cannot. This book is a must-have resource of any family law practitioner that wants to represent the best interests of his client and their heirs involved in a Hague case.

Over the past several years, the United States has been critical of Germanys handling of international parental child abduction cases that have been filed by U.S. parents. Both the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government have criticized Germany for not fully and consistently following the criteria and procedures established under the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, which governs such cases. The primary criticisms include the inappropriate use by German courts of certain provisions of the Hague Convention to justify retaining an abducted child in Germany, the length of time it has taken to adjudicate cases, and the failure to enforce left-behind parents visitation rights. In September 2000, in response to your concerns about the rights of left-behind parents, we reported on the status and outcome of cases that U.S. parents have filed with Germany. 3 This second report identifies actions that Germany has taken or plans it has under way to reform its handling of international parental child abduction cases and how these actions may affect U.S. cases. We also obtained information about what State Department officers stationed in Germany are doing to assist left-behind parents. This information is contained in appendix I.
The Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction has given rise to considerable interest, inevitably, throughout the world regardless of whether the countries who are forced to take an interest are or are not States parties. In recent times, world issues continue to impinge on the operation of the Convention. One such aspect has been the influence of matters in jurisdictions which have suffered both internal and external civil disorders, including disruptions which might legitimately be classified as involving parts of jurisdictions, notably Israel, as being zones of war. This monograph seeks to consider the reaction of courts in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States to this state of affairs. At the same time, the complexities therein involved require issues peripheral to the central issue, but especially germane to the general operation of the Convention to be taken into account. Issues of policy and reform are, consequently urged and discussed. All of this necessitates an analysis of and commentary on comparative case law and literature. It should be of interest and importance to scholars and practitioners of international family law.
There is growing enthusiasm for the use of mediation to seek to resolve cases arising under the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (the Convention). However, despite being endorsed by the conclusions of meetings of experts, judicial comment and even legislative changes, there have been relatively few cases where mediation has played a significant role. It is suggested that the reason underlying this dichotomy between the widespread support for the use of mediation and the current limited practice is that there are several key questions regarding the use of mediation in the context of the Convention which remain to be answered. Specifically: what is meant by Convention mediation? How can a mediation process fit within the constraints of the Convention? And why offer mediation in Convention cases given the existing legal framework? This book addresses these questions and in so doing seeks to encourage a movement from enthusiasm about the use of mediation in the Convention context to greater practice.
