INTERNATIONAL CHILD ABDUCTION

Brazil’s New Era in Child Abduction Cases

The IN 449/2022 resolution, implemented by the Brazilian judiciary, marked a significant shift in addressing international child abduction cases. Initiated in response to global criticism, particularly from the ICAPRA 2023 report and in collaboration with the Hague Convention, this normative instruction, effective from March 30, 2022, aimed to reform and standardize Brazil’s judicial processes. It introduced stringent deadlines, including a 30-day limit for mediation and a 15-day timeframe for responses, and streamlined the analysis of injunctions for the immediate return of children, thereby expediting case resolutions and ensuring a uniform approach across all Brazilian states.

This reform significantly improved the efficiency of Brazil’s handling of child abduction cases. By 2023, there was a notable 15% increase in the number of children returned, highlighting the resolution’s impact. IN 449 not only reinforced the legal framework against child abduction but also enhanced the protection of children’s rights and Brazil’s standing in the international legal community, particularly in family law.
