The UK Supreme Court ordered return of two girl children to their father in Norway, who were abducted by their mother

It's a very recent judgment pronounced on 10 June 2011, with far reaching implication in cross-border parental abduction of children.

Here's the summary.

The Supreme Court has ruled that two girls, aged seven and four respectively, be returned with their mother to Norway, after she had removed them without the father’s consent. The decision was made largely under the Hague Convention on the Rights of the Child which gives more specific direction to the courts in abduction cases than the European Convention on Human Rights, although, as the Supreme Court observed, a little more reassurance that the necessary safeguards can be enforced in the destination country would make it easier for the courts in the requesting country to make orders protecting the interests of the child.
