Decision on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction

This procedure allows specific EU Member States to accept South Korea's entry into the 1980 Hague Convention. This international agreement provides a legal framework for the return of children who have been wrongfully removed or retained across international borders, ensuring that custody disputes are settled in the child's home country.

This decision affects families and legal practitioners involved in cross-border custody disputes between EU Member States and South Korea, streamlining the legal process for the recovery of abducted children.
