T1 - Enlèvements internationaux d’enfants — solutions internationales et responsabilités étatiques
AU - Fiorini, Aude
N1 - dc.publisher: McGill Law Journal Please note that this article is written in French. L’auteure examine l’application interne d’instruments de coopération internationale ayant pour but la coordination d’efforts administratifs nationaux visant à combattre un phénomène particulier. Plus spécifiquement, elle examine l’efficience de la Convention de La Haye sur les aspects civils de l’enlèvement international d’enfants et des ententes régionales ou bilatérales abritant des obligations de combattre la soustraction transfrontalière d’enfants. La Convention exige le retour immédiat de tout enfant habituellement résident dans un État contractant et déplacé dans un autre État contractant en violation d’un droit de garde, pour garantir la protection effective dans les autres États contractants du droit de garde et de visite existant dans l’État de la résidence habituelle des enfants. Bien qu’elle considère que le traitement pratique de la soustraction transfrontalière d’enfants est encore imparfait, l’auteure conclut que la Convention est un instrument important et utile, qui alimente considérablement le dialogue international des droits fondamentaux des enfants. Selon elle, quoique la matière soit largement tributaire de la bonne volonté des individus touchés par l’enlèvement, les États mesures concrètes nécessaires pour atteindre les objectifs internationaux auxquels ils ont souscrit.

N2 - The author examines the internal application of cooperative international instruments aimed at coordinating national administrative efforts to combat a particular problem. More specifically, she considers the effectiveness of the Hague Convention on the civil aspects of international child abduction and the regional or bilateral agreements that contain obligations to combat the cross-border kidnapping of children. The Convention requires the immediate return of any child habitually resident in a contracting state removed to, or retained in, another contracting state in violation of custody arrangements. This guarantees the effective protection of custody orders and visitation rights existing in the child’s state of habitual residence while in other contracting states. Though it is the author’s opinion that the response to cross-border abduction is still insufficient in practical terms, the author concludes that the Convention is an important and useful legal instrument that plays a major part in the international discourse surrounding the fundamental rights of children. While she admits that the area largely depends on the goodwill of the individuals involved in child abduction cases, the author stresses that states must face their responsibilities and take all the concrete steps necessary to meet their international obligations.
