Tokens: In
the
case
of
Neulinger
and
Shuruk
v.
Switzerland
(

,
§

,
ECHR

)
,
the
1980
Hague
Convention
was
described
as
“
essentially
an
instrument
of
a
procedural
nature
and
not
a
human
rights
treaty
”
.
That
position
remains
unchanged
by
the
judgment
in
X
v.
Latvia
(
[
GC
]
,
no
.
27853/09
,
ECHR
2013
)
,
in
which
the
Grand
Chamber
reviewed
the
general
principles
.
The
1980
Hague
Convention
itself
provides
for
grounds
which
necessitate
a
departure
from
the
normal
rule
of
the
jurisdiction
of
the
habitual
residence
of
the
children
.
The
approach
to
be
taken
was
lucidly
explained
by
the
Court
(
Section
III
)
in
the
case
of
Maumousseau
and
Washington
v.
France
