MEDIATION IN CASES OF MINOR ABDUCTION TRANSBORDER CONFLICTS

The international abduction of minors does not seem, at first sight, the most appropriated matter for mediation. The extremely high level of the conflict, the language differences that exist between the parties and the legal actors involved make the environment to be extremely complicated. Mediation in these cases provides the possibility to limiting the damage provoked on a minor by keeping the conflict between parents unresolved, thus, undermining the child's required stability. In this article a real case is presented underpinning the process undergone and the obtained benefits.
