Jul. 1, 2020) "This case presents a question of first impression in New Jersey regarding a threshold inquiry to the application of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, Oct. 25, 1980, T.I.A.S. No. 11670 ("Convention"). Specifically, this case requires the court to determine whether an accession to the Convention by the child's country of habitual residence- here, the Philippines-mandates application of the Convention where the United States has not accepted that accession. For the reasons set forth herein, the court answers the question in the negative. Accordingly, because the United States has not accepted the Philippines' accession to the Convention, the alleged wrongful removal at issue is not subject to the Convention's prompt return protocols.", 2020
