Rejected petition Muslim countries must sign Hague Convention to safeguard European children !
In the UK it is estimated more than 140,000 children go missing every year according to one statistic which includes parental abductions. The Hague Convention of 29 May 1993 on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption. Many European mothers remain helpless.
More details
There are a number of mothers in the UK and all over western countries who feel helpless when their estranged husbands abduct their children to mostly Muslim nations including Algeria,Pakistan and other countries. It becomes almost impossible even to pursue legal proceedings in those countries for several reasons which include the fear of hooliganism and corrupt executive and judiciary branches of those Governments.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to urge the governments of Algeria, Pakistan and other specific countries to sign the Hague Convention.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
