The Hague Abduction Convention For The United Kingdom And Europe

On October 7, 1994 in Beckton, London, England, while Daniel Handley was working on his bicycle, he was approached by two men in a Peugeot 405, who claimed to be lost and sought direction from Daniel on their map. Meanwhile, their fantasy was to abduct a young fair haired, pre-teen buy and sexually abuse him and kill him to hide their crime. With the map placed in the back seat of their car, as Daniel leaned in to look at it, he was pushed into the car and they drove off. At their flat, both men sexually abused him while the other videoed the activity. Then, Daniel was taken to a layby by Hungerford in Berkshire and strangled to death with a rope. His body was dumped in a shallow grave near Bristol and found in March 1995. This paper is to look at why child kidnapping and abuse happened and still happens to this day. To also look at “what kind of person would take pleasure from raping and killing a ten-year-old boy?”

Both domestic and international measures are somewhat effective in dealing with international crime. Both crimes against the international community and Transnational crimes represent both positive outcomes in dealing with international crime, thus, exemplify issues in key areas. Through intergovernmental organizations such as the International Criminal Court and Operation Sovereign Borders (OSB), international crime Is effectively dealt with. Hence, problems such as extradition and people smuggling are hard to contain. These four issues will also be discussed in light of key effectiveness criteria, including equality, access, resources and the protection of rights.

This assignment will discuss “Amie’s case study” and will explore some of the risks that she is exposed too and how they can have effect on her welfare. I will start by defining what is child safeguarding centred on the legislation framework of the Children Act 2004.

within this assignment I will be talking about the factors which could lead to suspicion of child maltreatment or abuse, different strategies and methods that are used in order to minimise the harm to children, young people and their families where and when the abuse is confirmed. I will also be talking about the responses where child maltreatment or abuse is suspected or confirmed relating to current legislations and policies.

Human trafficking is one of the biggest human rights issues facing our world today. This practice makes much money for those who traffic humans, and destroys the lives of its victims. Brothels have been legal in Germany since 2002, and it is no coincidence that Germany 's largest brothel is just a few miles drive from the French border. Prostitution is illegal in France, and due to the Schengen Agreement, French citizens can travel freely to patronize the brothel. Prostitution is a huge business in Germany, which has experienced a boom in sex tourism and now has at least 400,000 prostitutes working within its borders. Germany 's Federal Statistics Office estimates that the country 's sex trade is responsible for €15 billion in economic activity each year. Because of the amount of patrons and money coming in to the industry, traffickers can make a lot of money trafficking victims in for small amounts of money, that lead to huge payoffs. However, it is now a crime to buy sex from someone who has been trafficked. Germany believes that this horrible practice is a very pressing issue, and one that, as the United Nations Human Rights Council, we must solve immediately.

The United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child (1989) is an international human rights treaty that grants all children a comprehensive set of rights. The convention has 54 articles and it sets out in detail what every child needs to have for a safe, happy and fulfilled childhood. Article 19 states children’s rights to be ‘protected from all

The United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child 1989 is legislation that exists but does not form part of English law. Although it is not English law Governments have said that they are bound by this convention. Its purpose is to ensure children are kept safe and looked after. Children have the right to be protected from violence, neglect, abuse, maltreatment by those people looking after them.

Simultaneously, there were samples of interviews that was held objectively by the petitioner. It was found out that the children were trafficked and controlled since the beginning of the day that circus trainers were demanding by mistreating and lack of respect and morality. In this case, child trafficking in the circus had no direct legislation in dealing and tracking by the concern departments (police, labor, or any official state agencies). Such incidents were confinement, unlawful, and violation of the Juvenile Justice Act and International treaties and Conventions related to Human Rights and Child Rights.

The UCCJA intended to “alleviate the plight of children caught in interstate custody battles by promulgating uniform rules for the assertion of jurisdiction over child custody cases” (DeMelis, 1975). After the creation of the UCCJA, the criminal justice believed that it was not enough to strike back against this crime, so they believed that to “enhance the uniformity of jurisdictional cases” another act must be passed to improve the current model (DeMelis, 1975). The Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act (PKPA) was enacted and the focus of this act was to relieve conflicts within the interstate, deter from interstate kidnappings, and create a cooperation between states in custody matters (NCPOFFC). The UCCJA and PKPA were tools to deter parental kidnapping and they established a criterion that all states should follow when making a custody decision. Although this was created, the states were reluctant to join the

On the present case being addressed to the International Court of Justice in dealing with the matter of sovereignty over the Island of Manca, the issue of legality belonging to which side of the parties at dispute is put forward. The problem however, lies in, the period at which the dispute took place, for International law has not evolved at that time unlike in this day and age.

Violence against children is a phenomenon happening worldwide, in forms of physical, psychological violence. Children are deprived of care, basic social services, health care and education, child abuse, neglect, exploitation, forced to beg, trafficked. Children are still one of the social groups at risk, facing many problems that remain unresolved. Although the consequences may vary according to the type and severity of the violence, the short and long-term consequences for children are very often serious and destructive and are costly. The laws that protect children’s rights are often not effective.

Child rights continue to be a subject of international debate. Around the world, many government and non-government officials seek to enhance children’s rights. Children are generally vulnerable to mistreatment, violent behavior by others, cruelty and ignorance. This results in various problems in the children including critical issues such as high infant mortality, unhealthy mind and body condition, improperly developed parenting skills for future life; they go about roaming on the streets and do not have a home, tend to leave school at early age and have other difficulties in education. All these factors contribute to a poor life and in this respect; The United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) puts a lot of emphasis on the child protection rights. Moreover, children are likely to have a more healthy body and mind as they grow up, and have a higher self-confidence and esteem in the future, if they are provided with a conducive environment for psycho social growth and their rights are adequately protected. The universal recognition of these special needs of children led to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in addition to the international human rights framework. The U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted on 20th November 1989 and provides that national governments will respect and enforce children’s rights. The Convention is a focal point of children’s rights efforts, because nearly every national government including India and 191
