Join our expert attorneys for a dialogue on legal challenges and opportunities for reuniting children with parents, the complex interactions of domestic and foreign courts and governments, nations' adherence to the Hague Convention on International Parental Child Abduction, and the necessity of international cooperation to prevent and resolve IPCA.
