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 a couple’s relationship is terminated, we face the regrettable increase of international child abductions by one of the parents.

Finally, we outline the need to cooperate between different authorities to accomplish and expedite solution in the best interest of the child.
