Abstract

GONZALEZ MARTIN, Nuria. Mediation in Cases of International Child Abduction by One of the Parents and Voluntary Cross-Border Agreements: The Mexican Case. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2014, vol.47, n.141, pp.867-908. ISSN 2448-4873.

The general goal f the present article is to provide a way of reasoning through a series of conclusions that may contribute to foster a frequently overlooked topic in Private International Law, we refer to the acknowledgement and enforcement of voluntary cross-border family agreements that may as well result in the creation of Soft Law instruments, such as the Guidelines for good practice in mediation. These are definitely enough reasons to try to spare children from irreversible damage arising from international family conflicts that could be mitigated -if not altogether deactivated- through cross-border voluntary agreements, acknowledged and enforced in all jurisdictions involved.

Keywords : Mediation; International Parental Child Abduction; Recognition and Enforcement; Voluntary Cross-Border Agreements.
