The author of this work was part of a research team that conducted a study, partially funded by the European Commission, to examine this problem in Belgium and Hungary, analysing cases from 2007 and 2008 and interviewing affected parents. This book is a revised version of the Belgian research report, which sets the problem of child abduction within its international context. It looks at the families in which abductions took place, how preparations were made for abduction, the quest for the return of the child (including legal proceedings) and the aftermath of the abductions. Throughout the book, the results of the quantitative and qualitative data are explained. What emerges is that when a child is abducted, the solutions offered by the law are often inadequate. Family conflict is a complex societal issue, and child abduction is a severe form of family conflict. Rather than responding to child abduction with strict and contentious legal proceedings, the book argues that solutions based on respect, psychological assistance, and a search for consensus should be favoured"--Bloomsbury Publishing. 330 $a"This book encompasses all aspects of international child abduction through the lens of an empirical study of the open files on abductions to and from Belgium in 2007 and 2008. It sheds light on the operations of the Hague Child Abduction Convention of 1980, on Brussels IIa (referred to in the book as Brussels IIbis), on the bilateral agreements that Belgium has with Morocco and Tunisia, and on cases of child abduction where no international instrument applied. However the book is not a piece of traditional, analytical legal scholarship. Instead, the book reveals to us the stories of the left-behind parents, a few of the abducting parents, and many of the professionals involved (e.g. lawyers, judges, psychologists, and people working for Central Authorities)"--From series editors' preface. 410 0$aStudies in private international law ;$vv. 6. 606 $aCustody of children$zBelgium 606 $aCustody of children 606 $aParental kidnapping$zBelgium 606 $aParental kidnapping 606 $2Private international law & conflict of laws 615 0$aCustody of children 615 0$aCustody of children. 615 0$aParental kidnapping 615 0$aParental kidnapping. 676 $a362.82977 700 $aKruger$b Thalia$0617967 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824502603321 996 $aInternational child abduction$91075234 997 $aUNINA
