Abduction to a country not party to either Convention

When a child is abducted to a Non Convention country, there is not a network of authorities working together to ensure the return of the child. A parent who wants their child returned to the UK will either have to come to an arrangement with the other parent, or start legal proceedings in the court where the child has been abducted to.

However, there are still things that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office can do to help. The Child Abduction Unit can give advice and provide practical help when dealing with authorities overseas.
