Hague Children's Conventions: the Need for an Advocacy Response to Protect Children in the Context of International Parental Child Abduction - This paper will focus on the practice of social work within the context of two international Hague Conventions concerning children: the 1980 Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Parental Child Abduction and the 1996 Hague Convention on Parental Responsibility and Child Protection. After briefly describing the programs of International Social Service (ISS) Australia, this organization's exisiting approaches to working with families affected by international parental child abudction will be specifically discussed as an example of practice within the context of the 1980 Hague Convention mentioned above. Based on a research report prepared by ISS Australia, arguments will be proposed for the viability of social work practice within the context of the 1996 Convention on Parental Responsibility and Child Protection. The writer will highlight benefits of casework practice and mediation-based services for families which can be offered by social work. (August 2009)
