The Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction

This procedure concerns the European Union's position on Andorra joining the 1980 Hague Convention. This international treaty establishes a standardized legal framework to ensure the prompt return of children who have been wrongfully removed from their country of habitual residence to that of a parent.

This agreement primarily affects families and legal practitioners involved in cross-border custody disputes. It strengthens judicial cooperation between Andorra and other member states to protect children's rights and ensure legal certainty in abduction cases.
