The International Child Abduction Remedies Act (ICARA) is a United States federal law. H.R. 3971 29 April 1988, was assigned Public law 100-300 in 42 U.S.C. 11601. ICARA establishes procedures to implement the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction done at The Hague on October 25, 1980 and for other purposes. The two primary goals of the Hague Convention are, "to ensure the prompt return of children to the state of their habitual residence when they have been wrongfully removed," and "to ensure that rights of custody i.e., "physical custody" and of access i.e., "visitation" under the law of one Contracting State are effectively respected in the other Contracting States". The Convention's procedures "are not designed to settle international custody disputes, but rather to restore the status quo prior to any wrongful removal or retention, and to deter parents from engaging in international forum shopping in custody cases."() ==Jurisdiction== Federal District Courts have "federal question" subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.A. §1331, which is concurrent with state court subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 42 U.S.C.A. §11603(a). As such, Hague Convention cases under ICARA may be heard in either State or Federal courts. An action under the Hague Convention is commenced by filing a Petition in the jurisdiction where the child is located.(U.S.C.S.A. § 11603(b) ) Notice of a Hague Convention Petition is deemed sufficient if it is given "in accordance with the applicable law governing notice in interstate child custody proceedings".(U.S.C.S.A. § 11603(c) ) In the United States, this would be the PKPA, UCCJA, or UCCJEA, where applicable. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Child Abduction Remedies Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
