CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Urging international cooperation in recovering children
abducted in the United States and taken to other countries.
Whereas many children in the United States have been ab-
ducted by family members who are foreign nationals and
living in foreign countries;
Whereas children who have been abducted by an estranged
father are very rarely returned, through legal remedies,
from countries that only recognize the custody rights of
the father;
Whereas there are at least 140 cases that need to be resolved
in which children have been abducted by family members
and taken to foreign countries;
