Child Abduction Act in Convention with the Hague Treaty on Child Abduction

Thailand lawmakers in 2013 took on many of the provisions from the international treaty, the Hague Convention on Child Abduction Law in Thailand. The domestic law, now known as the Thailand Child Abduction Act, will allow an aggrieved parent to file for the return of their child. However, the parent who is filing for their return must be able to prove that the child’s “habitual residence” is the country where the child is being requested back to. 

The Hague Treaty on Child Abdution is a treaty of international law that provides for uniform enforcement of child abduction laws between participating nations. Under the Act, petitions can be submitted to the Thailand Central Authority.

Rohingya Massacre Continues Despite Signed Memorandum of Understanding

The Burmese military just days after the signed Memorandum destroyed buildings in five villages belonging to the Rohingya people in the Rakhine state of Myanmar. Since August when the violence began, a total of 354 villages have now been destroyed.

Human Rights organizations have condemned the government, led by peace award winner Aung San Suu Kyi, for failing to stop the violence. The Memorandum was meant to provide safe passage for displaced persons of the Rohingya crisis from Bangladesh back into Myanmar.
