O que \u00e9 o rapto internacional de crian\u00e7as?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

O rapto internacional de crian\u00e7as ocorre quando uma crian\u00e7a \u00e9 ilicitamente retirada do seu pa\u00eds de resid\u00eancia habitual ou retida ilicitamente noutro pa\u00eds. Uma pessoa que pretenda levar uma crian\u00e7a para fora do pa\u00eds necessita normalmente do consentimento de todas as pessoas com responsabilidade parental por essa crian\u00e7a para o fazer. Pode ser uma infra\u00e7\u00e3o penal retirar uma crian\u00e7a do Reino Unido sem o devido consentimento ou autoriza\u00e7\u00e3o do tribunal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Existem v\u00e1rios actos legislativos nacionais e tratados internacionais que tratam do rapto de crian\u00e7as e da circula\u00e7\u00e3o internacional de crian\u00e7as. Conven\u00e7\u00e3o de Haia sobre os Aspectos Civis do Rapto Internacional de Crian\u00e7as, 1980<\/a> \u00e9 o principal tratado internacional que visa proteger as crian\u00e7as dos efeitos nocivos da desloca\u00e7\u00e3o e reten\u00e7\u00e3o il\u00edcitas. Mais de 100 pa\u00edses subscreveram a Conven\u00e7\u00e3o de Haia de 1980. Estas regras ajudam os tribunais a decidir se as crian\u00e7as devem ser devolvidas ao seu pa\u00eds ou permanecer noutro pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court can also make emergency orders allowing for children to be located, travel documents to be seized and port alerts to be put in place.
