Abstract

Nowadays there is an increase of international families, that is, those formed by individuals under different countries’ jurisdictions. International families are not exempt from suffering a crisis, hence the increase in cross border family conflicts. This way, in cases where there are minors and couple’s relationship is terminated, we face the regrettable increase of international abductions of minors by one of the parents. This paper analyzes the1980 Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction; provides background related to the particular situation between Mexico and the United States of America and analyzes two recent cases brought to both Supreme Courts. Finally, we outline the need to cooperate between different authorities to accomplish and expedite solution in the best interest of the child, where international family mediation plays a key role in international parental child abduction.
