In order to ensure the prompt return of a wrongful removal or retention, International Child Abduction Cases, Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction(｢Hague Convention｣) is adopted in 1980 by the Hague conference on Private International Law. In the beginning of adopting the Conveniton, The type of International child abduction on Which This Convention’s legislator is premised, is changed. A Classic type of Internatioal Chid Abduction is conducted by one of the parents, Father, taking from the Mother. But, the recent type of that is conducted by Mother for escaping the Domestic Violence by Father. In principle, The object of the Hague Convention is to secure the prompt return of Children wrongfuly removed or retained in any Contracting States. But, thd judicial authority(Court) of the requested State is not bound to order the child’s return when the person opposing that return establishes tha there is a grave risk that his or her return would expose the child to physical or psychological harm or otherwise place the child in an intolerable situation. The exceptions to return provied for under Arricle 13 sub-paragraph (b) of the Hague Convention must be interpreted restrctively. Only grave risks must be taken into consideration, excluding any grounds relating to the parents’ child-raising capacities, as the purpose of the Hague Convention is not to attribute parental authority.
