Summary

Urges all contracting parties to the Hague Convention: (1) particularly European civil law countries that consistently violate the Convention such as Austria, Germany and Sweden, to comply fully with their international obligations under the Convention; (2) to ensure their compliance with the Convention by enacting effective implementing legislation and educating their judicial and law enforcement authorities; (3) to honor their commitments and return abducted or wrongfully retained children to their place of habitual residence without reaching the merits of any underlying custody dispute and to ensure parental access rights by removing obstacles to the exercise of such rights; and (4) to further educate their central authority and local law enforcement authorities regarding the Convention, the severity of the problem of international child abduction, and the need for immediate action when a parent of an abducted child seeks assistance. Urges the Secretary of State to disseminate to all Federal and State courts the Department of State's annual report to Congress on Hague Convention compliance and related matters.
