Japanese International Travel Form For Minors

The I CARE Foundation’s International Travel Child Consent Form Available In Japanese

The I CARE Foundation’s International Travel Child Consent Form created to prevent international parental child abduction associated with a child being wrongfully detained by one parent in a foreign country is now available in Japanese. The travel form addresses key legal issues revolving around the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention and provides Japan’s and courts worldwide charged with overseeing potential international parental child abduction cases to and from Japan with a unique, globally well-established court implemented abduction prevention tool that is widely supported by the international legal, diplomatic, and judicial communities familiar with international parental child abduction.

An extensive I CARE Foundation study conducted during the Summer of 2014 surveyed hundreds of attorneys and judges located around the world deeply familiar with international parental child abduction. The study’s findings showed that over 70% of all international parental kidnappings amongst the ninety-four 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention member signatory nations occur when one parent wrongfully detains a child abroad without the child’s other parent’s consent or a court order, violating the left-behind parent’s right of custody and the child’s right to the targeted parent. The survey also concluded the overwhelming majority of 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention cases associated with wrongful retention, the abducting parent often uses abduction defenses available to them under Article 12 and Article 13 of the Hague Convention in hope to have the court located in the country the child has been wrongfully detained in sanction their act of not returning the child to their country of original jurisdiction.

The I CARE Foundation’s International Executive Director Peter Thomas Senese stated, “Demonstrated by the large number of international child travel cases that have occurred utilizing the I CARE Foundation’s travel form, whereas to the best of our knowledge every child who used the form returned home, we continue to witness the important role a Hague-oriented travel consent form has in the global theater of international child abduction prevention and support the Secretary General’s intent to consider incorporating an official Hague travel form into the arsenal of global abduction prevention tools. We remain highly optimistic that the global international parental child abduction rate will substantially decline due to use of Hague-oriented travel consent forms. Our substantial research indicates that over 70% of all international child kidnappings occur when a child is wrongfully detained abroad – the exact parental kidnapping scenario our travel form has successfully protected against.

“Demonstrating the I CARE Foundation’s commitment to protecting children, I am pleased to announce that our globally recognized International Travel Child Consent Form is presently being or has been translated into 30 languages, including every language spoken by signatory countries of the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention. In addition, numerous legal briefs and other pertinent information surrounding our travel form have and will continue to be translated into all 30 languages by a high-caliber team of professional legal translators. Obviously this is no small task; however, it is a vital undertaking.

“With respect to Japan, and for that matter all nation’s and their children, the creation and use of our travel consent form is rather simple: children have a right to know magic and to live in a world free of concern from parental child abduction. And targeted parents of abduction have a right to have society protect their children from kidnapping. We believe in these rights. Our work and dedication continues.”

I CARE財団の子供の渡航同意書を日本語で提供

外国で片親により不正に奪取された子に関わる国際的な親による子の奪取を防止するために作成されたI CARE財団の子供の渡航同意書は現在、日本語でも提供されています。この渡航同意書は、1980年ハーグ国際的な子の奪取の民事上の側面に関する条約をめぐる法的な問題に対応し、日本から及び日本へ来る国際的親による子供の奪取の可能性の案件の監視を担当する日本及び世界の裁判所に、国際的な親による子の奪取に精通し、国際法、外交、そして司法の社会に広くサポートされ、ユニークで世界的に確立された裁判所が実施する奪取防止ツールを提供します。

 

2014年の夏に実施された大規模なI CARE財団の調査では、国際的な親による子の奪取に深く精通した世界中の何百人もの弁護士や裁判官を調査しました。調査結果によれば、94ヶ国の1980年国際的な子の奪取の民事上の側面に関する条約の署名メンバー国全ての国際的な親による子の誘拐の70%以上は、片親が子供のもう一方の親の同意または裁判所の命令を得ることなく、不正に子供を外国で拘束し、残された親の保護権と対象なる親に対する子の権利に違反する時に発生しています。この調査でも、不正な拘束に伴う1980年国際的な子の奪取の民事上の側面に関する条約の相当数のケースでは、奪取する親は多くの場合、子供が不正に拘束された国にある裁判所が、元の司法権を有する国に子を戻さないという行為に対する制裁を期待し、ハーグ条約の12条と13条で供されている奪取の弁護を利用していると結論付けました。

 

I CARE財団の国際担当常任理事のPeter Thomas Senese は以下のとおり述べていました。「I CARE財団の渡航同意書を活用して発生したこの渡航のケースの多くにより示されており、我々が把握している範囲では、この文書を利用した全ての子は帰宅できており、我々は国際的子の奪取防止の世界的な舞台においてハーグ条約に基づく渡航同意書が持つ重要な役割を引き続き目撃し、公式ハーグ渡航同意書をグローバルな拘束防止のツールに取り込むことを検討する事務総長の意図をサポートしています。我々はグローバルな国際的親によるこの奪取の割合は、ハーグ条約を基にした渡航同意書の利用により大きく減少すると極めて楽観的に見ています。我々の相当の研究では、全ての国際的な子供の誘拐の70%以上は、子が不正に外国で拘束されている時に発生しています – 我々の渡航同意書がうまく保護した親による子の誘拐のシナリオそのもの。」

 

「I CARE財団の子を保護する献身的な取り組みを示しており、我々のグローバルに認知された渡航同意書は現在、1980年ハーグ国際的な子の奪取の民事上の側面に関する条約の調印国で話される全ての言語を含め、30か国語で翻訳中であり、これまで翻訳が行われてきました。加えて、我々の渡航合意書周辺の数多くの法的な説明やその他の関連情報は引き続き、専門法律文書翻訳者の高レベルなチームにより全て30か国に翻訳されます。明らかに、これは小さな作業ではありませんが、欠くことのできない取り組みであることということを発表できることは喜ばしいことです。」

 

「日本に関して、そしてその点については、全ての国及びその子について、我々の渡航同意書の作成と利用はむしろ簡単です。子は魔法を知り、親による子の奪取の懸念の無い世界に住む権利を有しています。そして奪取を行う対象の親は、社会に誘拐から子を保護させる権利を有しています。我々はこの権利を確信しており、我々の作業と献身的な取り組みは継続していきます。」

आई केयर फाउंडेशन (I CARE Foundation) का अंतरराष्ट्रीय यात्रा बाल सहमति फॉर्म हिंदी में उपलब्ध

आई केयर फाउंडेशन का अंतरराष्ट्रीय यात्रा बाल सहमति फॉर्म जो किसी बच्चे को दूसरे देश में एक माता/पिता द्वारा गलत तरीके से रोके जाने के साथ जुड़े अंतरराष्ट्रीय माता/पिता द्वारा बच्चे के अपहरण को रोकने के लिए बनाया गया है, यह फॉर्म अब हिंदी में उपलब्ध है। यात्रा फार्म 1980 के हेग बाल अपहरण कन्वेंशन के आसपास घूमते महत्वपूर्ण वैधानिक मुद्दों पर ध्यान देता है और हिंदी भाषी देशों के साथ जुड़े अंतरराष्ट्रीय माता/पिता द्वारा बच्चों के संभावित अपहरण के मामलों को देखने वाले दुनिया भर के न्यायालयों को एक विशिष्ट, दुनिया भर में सुव्यवस्थित, न्यायालय में कार्यान्वित अपहरण रोकथाम टूल उपलब्ध कराता है जो अंतरराष्ट्रीय वैधानिक, कूटनीतिक और अंतरराष्ट्रीय माता/पिता द्वारा बच्चे के अपहरण के जानकार न्यायिक समुदायों द्वारा बड़े पैमाने पर समर्थित है। 2014 की गर्मियों के दौरान आई केयर फाउंडेशन द्वारा एक व्यापक अध्ययन कराया गया जिसमें अंतरराष्ट्रीय पैरेंटल बाल अपहरण की गहरी जानकारी रखने वाले दुनिया भर में स्थित सैकड़ों अधिवक्ताओं और न्यायाधीशों का सर्वेक्षण किया गया। अध्ययन के नतीजों से पता चला कि 1980 हेग बाल अपहरण कन्वेंशन के चौरानबे हस्ताक्षरकर्ता सदस्य देशों में सभी अंतरराष्ट्रीय पैरेंटल अपहरण की 70% से अधिक घटनाएं उस समय होती हैं जब एक माता/पिता बच्चे के दूसरे माता/पिता की सहमति या किसी अदालती आदेश के बिना गलत तरीके से बच्चे को विदेश में रोक लेता है जिससे पीछे रह गए माता/पिता के अभिरक्षण के अधिकार और लक्षित माता/पिता के लिए बच्चे के अधिकार का उल्लंघन होता है। सर्वेक्षण में यह निष्कर्ष भी निकाला गया कि गलत तरीके रोके जाने से जुड़े 1980 हेग बाल अपहरण कन्वेंशन के मामलों की बहुत अधिक संख्या में अपहरणकर्ता माता/पिता अक्सर इस उम्मीद में हेग कन्वेंशन के अनुच्छेद 12 और अनुच्छेद 13 के तहत उनके लिए उपलब्ध अपहरण से बचाव के उपायों का प्रयोग करते हैं कि उस देश में स्थित न्यायालय जहां बच्चे कोगलत तरीके से रोक कर रखा गया है, बच्चे को उसके मूल अधिकार क्षेत्र के देश में वापस नहीं करने के उनके कृत्य को मंजूर करेंगे।      
  

आई केयर फाउंडेशन के यात्रा फॉर्म का उपयोग करके सफलतापूर्वक यात्रा करने वाले अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाल यात्रा मामलों की एक बड़ी संख्या द्वारा प्रदर्शित के अनुसार, हम अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाल अपहरण की रोकथाम के वैश्विक परिदृश्य में हेग-उन्मुख यात्रा सहमति फॉर्म की महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका को लगातार देख रहे हैं। हम इस मामले में काफी आशावादी बने हुए हैं कि हेग-उन्मुख यात्रा सहमति फॉर्मों की वजह से वैश्विक अंतरराष्ट्रीय पैरेंटल बाल अपहरण दर में काफ़ी गिरावट आएगी। हमारे व्यापक अनुसंधान से पता चलता है कि सभी अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाल अपहरणों में 70% से अधिक उस समय होते हैं जब किसी बच्चे को विदेश में गलत तरीके से रोक कर रखा जाता है – यही वह पैरेंटल अपहरण परिदृश्य है जिसके विरुद्ध हमारे यात्रा फॉर्म ने सफलतापूर्वक सुरक्षा प्रदान की है।

हमारे यात्रा सहमति फॉर्म का निर्माण और उपयोग कहीं अधिक सरल है: बच्चों को जादू के बारे में जानने और माता/पिता द्वारा बच्चे के अपहरण की चिंता से मुक्त दुनिया में जीने का अधिकार है। साथ ही अपहरण के लक्षित माता-पिता को अपहरण से अपने बच्चों की रक्षा करने वाला समाज पाने का अधिकार है। हम इन अधिकारों में विश्वास करते हैं। हमारा प्रयास और समर्पण अनवरत जारी है।

আই কেয়ার ফাউন্ডেশন-এর শিশুর অন্তর্দেশীয় ভ্রমণের সম্মতিপত্র এখন বাংলায় পাওয়া যাচ্ছে

আই কেয়ার ফাউন্ডেশন-এর শিশুর অন্তর্দেশীয় ভ্রমণের সম্মতিপত্র প্রবর্তনের উদ্দেশ্য হচ্ছে শিশুর বাবা-মায়েদের দ্বারা তাদের অপহরণ আন্তর্জাতিক স্তরে প্রতিরোধ করা, যার সঙ্গে যুক্ত আছে শিশুর কোন এক অভিভাবকের দ্বারা শিশুকে ভিনদেশে অন্যায়ভাবে আটকে রাখা এবং এটি এখন বাংলা ভাষাতেও পাওয়া যাচ্ছে। এর ভ্রমণ নিদর্শটি মূলত যে আইনি বিষয়গুলিকে সম্বোধিত করে যেগুলি ১৯৮০ সালের শিশু অপরহণ বিষয়ক হেগ নিয়মপত্রকে কেন্দ্র করে আবর্তিত এবং আন্তর্জাতিক স্তরে বাংলা ভাষাভাষী দেশগুলির সঙ্গে যুক্ত বাবা-মায়েদের দ্বারা তাদের শিশুদের সম্ভাব্য অপহরণের ঘটনাগুলির তদারকির দায়িত্বপ্রাপ্ত আদালতসমূহের সহায়তা প্রদান করে, একটি অনন্য, বিশ্বজুড়ে সুবিদিত শিশু অপহরণরোধী এমন সাধনীসহ, যা আন্তর্জাতিকভাবে সেই সমস্ত আইনি, কূটনৈতিক ও বিচারবিভাগীয় সম্প্রদায় দ্বারা উচ্চপ্রশংসিত, যারা আন্তর্জাতিক স্তরে অভিভাবকীয় শিশু অপহরণের ঘটনার সঙ্গে সুপরিচিত।

আই কেয়ার ফাউন্ডেশন দ্বারা ২০১৪ সালে গ্রীষ্মকালে একটি বিস্তৃত অধ্যয়ন চালানো হয়েছিল সারা বিশ্বজুড়ে সহস্রাধিক আইনজীবী ও বিচারপতিদের সমীক্ষার মধ্যে দিয়ে, যাঁরা আন্তর্জাতিক অভিভাবকীয় শিশু অপরহণের ঘটনার সঙ্গে সুপরিচিত। এই সমীক্ষা থেকে দেখা গেছে যে, ১৯৮০ সালের শিশু অপরহরণ বিষয়ক হেগ সম্মেলনে স্বাক্ষরকারী চুরানম্বইটি দেশে অভিভাবকীয় অপহরণের যত ঘটনা রয়েছে তার মধ্যে ৭০%-এরও বেশির ঘটনায় এটি সাধারণভাবে দেখা গেছে যে, একটি শিশুর কোন এক অভিভাবক (বাবা বা মা), অপর অভিভাবকের সম্মতি বা আদালতের রায় ব্যতিরেকে শিশুকে নিয়ে দেশান্তরে চলে গেছেন এবং সেখানে তাকে অন্যায়ভাবে আটকে রেখেছেন এবং এইভাবে তিনি অপর অভিভাবকের শিশুর হেফাজতের অধিকার খর্ব করেছেন। এই সমীক্ষা থেকে আরও যে সিদ্ধান্তে আসা গেছে তা হল, ১৯৮০ সালের হেগ শিশু অপরহরণ নিয়মপত্রের সঙ্গে সম্পর্কযুক্ত ঘটনাগুলিতে শিশুকে আটক করে রাখার ঘটনার সংখ্যাধিক্য অবাক করে দেবার মতো। এই সমস্ত অপহরণকারী অভিভাবকেরা প্রায়শই হেগ নিয়মপত্রে অপহরণের যুক্তি হিসেবে ১২ ও ১৩ নম্বর অনুচ্ছেদ দুটিতে তাঁদের প্রদত্ত সুরক্ষার ব্যবস্থাকে কাজে লাগায় এই প্রত্যাশা থেকে যে, যে দেশে তাঁরা শিশুকে অপহরণ করে রেথেছেন সেই দেশের আদালত শিশুটিকে তার নিজের মূল অধিক্ষেত্রের দেশে ফিরিয়ে না দিতে নিজেদের আইন প্রয়োগ করবে।

আই কেয়ার ফাউন্ডেশন-এর ভ্রমণ নিদর্শকে সফলতার সঙ্গে শিশুদের অন্তর্দেশীয় ভ্রমণের ঘটনাগুলির ক্ষেত্রে হাতে-কলমে প্রয়োগ করে দেখানো হয়েছে। আন্তর্জাতিক স্তরে হেগ-কেন্দ্রিক শিশু অপহরণের ঘটনাগুলি রোধে এই সম্মতিপত্র সার্বিকভাবে কতটা কার্যকরী তা আমার এখনও প্রত্যক্ষ করে চলেছি। আমরা এ ব্যাপারে চূড়ান্ত আশাবাদী যে আমাদের এই হেগ-কেন্দ্রিক ভ্রমণের সম্মতিপত্রটি সার্বিকভাবে আন্তর্জাতিক স্তরে অভিভাবকীয় শিশু অপহরণের ঘটনাগুলিকে উল্লেখযোগ্যভাবে কমিয়ে আনতে সফল হবেই। আমরা আমাদের ফলপ্রসূ গবেষণা থেকে দেখেছি শিশু অপহরণের ঘটনাগুলির মধ্যে ৭০%-এরও বেশির ক্ষেত্রে দেখা গেছে যে শিশুকে বাইরের কোন দেশে নিয়ে গিয়ে অন্যায়ভাবে আটকে রাখা হয়েছে – আর আমাদের প্রবর্তিত ভ্রমণ নিদর্শটি অভিভাবকীয় শিশু অপহরণের ক্ষেত্রে ঠিক এই বিষয়টির বিরুদ্ধেই রক্ষাকবচ তৈরি করতে সক্ষম হয়েছে।

আমাদের এই ভ্রমণের সম্মতিপত্রটি তৈরি ও ব্যবহার বেশ সহজঃ শিশুদের জাদুর দুনিয়ায় থাকার ও অভিভাবকদের দ্বারা অপহৃত হয়ে যাবার উদ্বেগহীন একটি পৃথিবীতে জীবনযাপন করার অধিকার রয়েছে। আর একই সঙ্গে, যে সমস্ত অভিভাবকেরা এই ধরনের অপহরহণের ঘটনার শিকার হচ্ছেন তাঁদেরও এমন এক সমাজ পাওয়ার অধিকার আছে যে সমাজ তাঁদের শিশুদের অপহরণ হয়ে যাওয়া থেকে রক্ষা করতে পারে। আমরা এই সকল অধিকারগুলি অস্তিত্বে বিশ্বাসী। অতএব, আমাদের কাজ ও নিষ্ঠা সেই লক্ষ্যেই জারি থাকবে।

Peter Thomas Senese & The I CARE Foundation: International Travel Child Consent Form Now Available In Greek

Το Διεθνές Έντυπο Συναίνεσης σε Ταξίδι Παιδιού του Ιδρύματος I CARE Διατίθεται στα Ελληνικά

Το Διεθνές Έντυπο Συναίνεσης σε Ταξίδι Παιδιού του Ιδρύματος I CARE που δημιουργήθηκε για να αποτρέψει την απαγωγή παιδιού διεθνώς από γονέα η οποία σχετίζεται με την παράνομη κατακράτηση παιδιού από έναν γονέα σε χώρα της αλλοδαπής διατίθεται τώρα και στα Ελληνικά. Το έντυπο ταξιδίου έχει να κάνει με τα κύρια νομικά θέματα που περιστρέφονται γύρω από τη Συνθήκη Απαγωγής Παιδιού της Χάγης του 1980 και παρέχει σε δικαστήρια σε όλο τον κόσμο, επιφορτισμένα με την επίβλεψη υποθέσεων πιθανών απαγωγών παιδιών από γονείς διεθνώς που σχετίζονται με χώρες όπου μιλούν Ελληνικά με ένα μοναδικό, διεθνώς καθιερωμένο εργαλείο πρόληψης απαγωγής παιδιού από γονέα, εφαρμοσμένο στο δικαστήριο το οποίο υποστηρίζεται από τις διεθνείς νομικές, διπλωματικές και δικαιοδοτικές κοινότητες που είναι οικείες με την απαγωγή παιδιού από γονέα διεθνώς.

Μία εκτεταμένη έρευνα που διεξήχθη από το Ίδρυμα I CARE το καλοκαίρι του 2014 ερωτήθηκαν εκατοντάδες δικηγόροι και δικαστές σε όλο τον κόσμο οι οποίοι είναι βαθιοί γνώστες της απαγωγής παιδιού από γονέα διεθνώς. Τα ευρήματα της έρευνας έδειξαν ότι πάνω από 70% όλων των γονικών απαγωγών διεθνώς μεταξύ των ενενηντατεσσάρων εθνών που υπέγραψαν τη Συνθήκη Απαγωγής Παιδιού της Χάγης του 1980 συμβαίνουν όταν ένας γονέας παράνομα κατακρατεί ένα παιδί στο εξωτερικό χωρίς τη συναίνεση του άλλου γονέα ή δικαστική εντολή, παραβιάζοντας το δικαίωμα επιμέλειας του γονέα που έχει μείνει πίσω καθώς και το δικαίωμα του παιδιού στον στοχευμένο γονέα. Επίσης η έρευνα συμπέρανε ότι στη συντριπτική πλειοψηφία των υποθέσεων της Συνθήκης Απαγωγής Παιδιού της Χάγης του 1980 που σχετίζονται με παράνομη κατακράτηση, ο γονέας απαγωγέας συχνά χρησιμοποιεί υπερασπίσεις απαγωγής που τους είναι διαθέσιμες υπό τα Άρθρα 12 και 13 της Συνθήκης της Χάγης με την ελπίδα το δικαστήριο στη χώρα όπου το παιδί έχει παρανόμως κατακρατηθεί να επικυρώσει την πράξη τους της μη επιστροφής του παιδιού στη χώρα αρχικής δικαιοδοσίας.

Όπως καταδεικνύεται από τον μεγάλο αριθμό υποθέσεων διεθνούς ταξιδιού παιδιών που έγιναν με επιτυχία χρησιμοποιώντας το έντυπο ταξιδιού του Ιδρύματος I CARE, συνεχίζουμε να είμαστε μάρτυρες του σημαντικού ρόλου που έχει ένα έντυπο συναίνεσης ταξιδίου με προσανατολισμό Χάγης στο οικουμενικό θέατρο της πρόληψης απαγωγής παιδιών διεθνώς. Παραμένουμε ιδιαιτέρως αισιόδοξοι ότι το οικουμενικό ποσοστό απαγωγής παιδιού από γονέα διεθνώς θα μειωθεί σημαντικά λόγω της χρήσης των εντύπων συναίνεσης ταξιδίου με προσανατολισμό Χάγης. Η ουσιώδης έρευνά μας υποδεικνύει ότι πάνω από το 70% όλων των απαγωγών παιδιών διεθνώς συμβαίνουν όταν ένα παιδί κατακρατείται παράνομα στο εξωτερικό – ακριβώς το σενάριο γονικής απαγωγής από το οποίο προστατεύει το δικό μας έντυπο.

Η δημιουργία και χρήση του δικού μας εντύπου συναίνεσης ταξιδιού είναι ιδιαίτερα απλή: τα παιδιά έχουν το δικαίωμα να γνωρίσουν τη μαγεία και ζήσουν σε έναν κόσμο απαλλαγμένο από την ανησυχία της απαγωγής παιδιού από γονέα. Και οι στοχευμένοι για απαγωγή γονείς έχουν το δικαίωμα να προστατεύσει η κοινωνία τα παιδιά τους από το να απαχθούν. Πιστεύουμε σε αυτά τα δικαιώματα. Το έργο και η αφοσίωσή μας συνεχίζονται.

2014年の夏に実施された大規模なI CARE財団の調査では、国際的な親による子の奪取に深く精通した世界中の何百人もの弁護士や裁判官を調査しました。調査結果によれば、94ヶ国の1980年国際的な子の奪取の民事上の側面に関する条約の署名メンバー国全ての国際的な親による子の誘拐の70%以上は、片親が子供のもう一方の親の同意または裁判所の命令を得ることなく、不正に子供を外国で拘束し、残された親の保護権と対象なる親に対する子の権利に違反する時に発生しています。この調査でも、不正な拘束に伴う1980年国際的な子の奪取の民事上の側面に関する条約の相当数のケースでは、奪取する親は多くの場合、子供が不正に拘束された国にある裁判所が、元の司法権を有する国に子を戻さないという行為に対する制裁を期待し、ハーグ条約の12条と13条で供されている奪取の弁護を利用していると結論付けました。

I CARE財団の国際担当常任理事のPeter Thomas Senese は以下のとおり述べていました。「I CARE財団の渡航同意書を活用して発生したこの渡航のケースの多くにより示されており、我々が把握している範囲では、この文書を利用した全ての子は帰宅できており、我々は国際的子の奪取防止の世界的な舞台においてハーグ条約に基づく渡航同意書が持つ重要な役割を引き続き目撃し、公式ハーグ渡航同意書をグローバルな拘束防止のツールに取り込むことを検討する事務総長の意図をサポートしています。我々はグローバルな国際的親によるこの奪取の割合は、ハーグ条約を基にした渡航同意書の利用により大きく減少すると極めて楽観的に見ています。我々の相当の研究では、全ての国際的な子供の誘拐の70%以上は、子が不正に外国で拘束されている時に発生しています – 我々の渡航同意書がうまく保護した親による子の誘拐のシナリオそのもの。」

「I CARE財団の子を保護する献身的な取り組みを示しており、我々のグローバルに認知された渡航同意書は現在、1980年ハーグ国際的な子の奪取の民事上の側面に関する条約の調印国で話される全ての言語を含め、30か国語で翻訳中であり、これまで翻訳が行われてきました。加えて、我々の渡航合意書周辺の数多くの法的な説明やその他の関連情報は引き続き、専門法律文書翻訳者の高レベルなチームにより全て30か国に翻訳されます。明らかに、これは小さな作業ではありませんが、欠くことのできない取り組みであることということを発表できることは喜ばしいことです。」

「日本に関して、そしてその点については、全ての国及びその子について、我々の渡航同意書の作成と利用はむしろ簡単です。子は魔法を知り、親による子の奪取の懸念の無い世界に住む権利を有しています。そして奪取を行う対象の親は、社会に誘拐から子を保護させる権利を有しています。我々はこの権利を確信しており、我々の作業と献身的な取り組みは継続していきます。」

The I CARE Foundation’s International Travel Child Consent Form Available In Japanese

The I CARE Foundation’s International Travel Child Consent Form created to prevent international parental child abduction associated with a child being wrongfully detained by one parent in a foreign country is now available in Japanese. The travel form addresses key legal issues revolving around the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention and provides Japan’s and courts worldwide charged with overseeing potential international parental child abduction cases to and from Japan with a unique, globally well-established court implemented abduction prevention tool that is widely supported by the international legal, diplomatic, and judicial communities familiar with international parental child abduction.

An extensive I CARE Foundation study conducted during the Summer of 2014 surveyed hundreds of attorneys and judges located around the world deeply familiar with international parental child abduction. The study’s findings showed that over 70% of all international parental kidnappings amongst the ninety-four 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention member signatory nations occur when one parent wrongfully detains a child abroad without the child’s other parent’s consent or a court order, violating the left-behind parent’s right of custody and the child’s right to the targeted parent. The survey also concluded the overwhelming majority of 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention cases associated with wrongful retention, the abducting parent often uses abduction defenses available to them under Article 12 and Article 13 of the Hague Convention in hope to have the court located in the country the child has been wrongfully detained in sanction their act of not returning the child to their country of original jurisdiction.

The I CARE Foundation’s International Executive Director Peter Thomas Senese stated, “Demonstrated by the large number of international child travel cases that have occurred utilizing the I CARE Foundation’s travel form, whereas to the best of our knowledge every child who used the form returned home, we continue to witness the important role a Hague-oriented travel consent form has in the global theater of international child abduction prevention and support the Secretary General’s intent to consider incorporating an official Hague travel form into the arsenal of global abduction prevention tools. We remain highly optimistic that the global international parental child abduction rate will substantially decline due to use of Hague-oriented travel consent forms. Our substantial research indicates that over 70% of all international child kidnappings occur when a child is wrongfully detained abroad – the exact parental kidnapping scenario our travel form has successfully protected against.

“Demonstrating the I CARE Foundation’s commitment to protecting children, I am pleased to announce that our globally recognized International Travel Child Consent Form is presently being or has been translated into 30 languages, including every language spoken by signatory countries of the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention. In addition, numerous legal briefs and other pertinent information surrounding our travel form have and will continue to be translated into all 30 languages by a high-caliber team of professional legal translators. Obviously this is no small task; however, it is a vital undertaking.

“With respect to Japan, and for that matter all nation’s and their children, the creation and use of our travel consent form is rather simple: children have a right to know magic and to live in a world free of concern from parental child abduction. And targeted parents of abduction have a right to have society protect their children from kidnapping. We believe in these rights. Our work and dedication continues.”

How To Stop Parental Child Abduction? The I CARE Foundation's International Travel Child Form and the Hague Child Abduction Convention

Travel Documents For Children?

Fear of international child abduction? Separation or Divorce in a multi-national relationship?

Selecting the best international travel consent form for your child can be the complete difference between an international parental child abduction being carried out or not by the child's other parent. Yes - I said 'International parental child abduction'.  You see, the vast majority of children - and there are tens of thousands of children targeted each year for international parental child abduction - who fall prey to abduction come from multi-cultural families that are often in conflict such as a failing relationship or outright divorce.

In today's global environment, there is only one global abduction prevention tool that can prevent against a child being wrongfully retained abroad, and that is the I CARE Foundation's International Travel Child Consent Form.  The fact is, there is no other child travel consent form created like it, as it it steep in the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention language needed to defend against a parental abduction. 

Peter Senese & the I CARE Foundation’s International Travel Child Consent Form 

                                          

According to the I CARE Foundation's extensive research,  the majority of all cases of international parental child abduction occur when a child is wrongfully detained in a foreign country. The wrongful detention of a child abroad generally occurs during a court directed travel order or when travel occurs by mutual parental consent, particularly during the summer school break or the Christmas holiday season. However, unknown to the targeted parent who may either travel with the child or who may remain in the child’s country of habitual residency, the scheming parent intending to remain abroad with the child has more than likely crafted a well-orchestrated scheme that includes use of Article 12 and Article 13 of the Hague Convention in order to remain abroad with the child.  Unfortunately, the vast majority of children wrongfully detained in a foreign country do not come home.  The I CARE Foundation’s ‘International Travel Child Consent Form’ protects against misuse of all known international child abduction defenses under the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention, including Articles 12, 13, and 20, while upholding the intent and spirit of Article 1 of the Child Abduction Convention.

One of the major problems that exist today when parents are required to attempt to bring home their wrongfully retained child is that the ease parental child abductors have in defending their act of abduction has expanded significantly. One of the primary reasons behind this ease of defense is that courts around the world have wrongfully expanded the scope of Article 13 of the Hague Child Abduction Convention - the 'best interest' clause - to such a wide scale that it makes it extremely difficult for a left behind parent to reunite with their child. 

However there is real hope - hope that has been proven in a large and growing number of cases around the world: the I CARE Foundation's travel form has been able to mute fraudulent claims of an Article 12 and Article 13 defense in courtrooms around the world.

Peter Thomas Senese, the creator of the I CARE Foundation’sInternational Travel Child Consent Form and the Executive Director of the I CARE Foundation stated, “Perhaps the singular most important factor is that local courts in foreign countries are not abiding by the intent and spirit of the Hague Child Abduction Convention.  Specifically, all abductors will make defense claims under Article 12 or Article 13 of the Hague Convention.   Article 12 has to do with intent to relocate, and Article 13 has to do with the ‘Best interest of the child’, which recently has been expanded in many courts to include ‘Best interest of the child and extended family’. Unfortunately, Article 13 in particular has become the Achilles Heel of the abduction prevention community.

“Hague Conference During Hague proceedings, the convention calls for the inbound country’s Hague Court to look at Article 13 defenses only in extreme cases as the intent of the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention is to determine which court has jurisdiction of the child, and then properly and expeditiously return that child to the country where the court of original jurisdiction is located.  However, around the world, courts are no longer acting in an expeditious manner as is cited under Article 1 of The Hague Child Abduction Convention.  Instead, local courts are calling for detailed findings of what is in the best interest of the child and in essence making their own custody ruling even though they are not the court of original jurisdiction. Problematically, these courts are in essence mooting not only the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention but they are essentially quashing the court orders originating from the child’s country of original jurisdiction.

“What the I CARE Foundation’s ‘International Travel Child Consent Form’ does is it upholds the intent and spirit of the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention, including Article 1’s ‘Expeditious determination clause’. In addition, the travel consent form strongly addresses misuse of Article 12 and Article 13 defenses, and essentially moots use of false claim.  In addition, the I CARE Foundation’s travel consent form upholds the sanctity of the court of original jurisdiction located in the child’s country of habitual residency.

In essence, the I CARE Foundation’s ‘International Travel Child Consent Form’ is the only global child abduction prevention tool that safeguards against misuse of the Hague Child Abduction Convention defenses and calls for the immediate return of a child if that child is wrongfully detained by mutual consent of both parents.
