Extension of the Hague Convention to non-signatory nations: a possible solution to parental child abduction
by Akanksha Sharma; Harini Viswanathan
International Journal of Private Law (IJPL), Vol. 4, No. 4, 2011

Abstract: Non-signatories to the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction can roughly be divided into two categories, those with a principled objection to the convention such as Islamic nations and those that have not yet ratified the convention but do not have a principled objection to it such as India. In this paper, the researchers seek to study the utility and feasibility of the extension of the Hague Convention to both these types of nations. The idea that the researchers seek to uphold is that parental abduction of the child in order to obtain a favourable forum of adjudication is essentially antithetical to the best interests of the child and therefore must not be permitted, regardless of whether it is justified by cultural relativism.
