Today we participated in an international conference on social and legal protection of children with a topic also touching on international abductions at the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic
It was an honor for me that the initial meetings organized by Lúč pre Dieťa at a round table under the title: A CHILD IS A GIFT, not a commodity, led to the organization of an international conference.
Many experts spoke in the discussion panels not only from Slovakia, but also from Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom, but our neighbors from the Czech Republic and Hungary were also represented.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also plays an important role in international child protection through its embassies.
We learned about the exact system of procedures for transferring children, about abductions by one parent from the country of habitual residence. Each country has a different legal and social system.
