The Hague Convention -- 25 October 1980, about the international child abduction -- is the international instrument for the situation in which one of the child's parent changes his usual place against the will of the other parent or refuses to return the child into his usual residence from a member state to another. This law regulates the procedures and the legal adequate solution to prevent the international child abduction, having in view to standardize the legislation of the member states. Conclusively, this article analyzing a sentence from a Romanian Court enshrines that the legal instruments of the national system are not capable to realize the purpose of the Convention: the return of the abducted child into his residence country.
