INTRODUCTION
By now, international marriages have become widespread, as
well as parents’ disputes about their children and about the
approaches of their education and place of residence. In this
connection, there is a recent increase in cases of child abduction by
a parent living in another country, and taking the child abroad.
To effectively resolve disputes about parenting between
parents who are citizens or residents of different countries, the
Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) developed
a Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of
International Child Abduction (hereinafter referred to as the
Convention). Kazakhstan became a party to this Convention.
The Convention entered into force in the Republic of
Kazakhstan on The 1st of September, 2013. As of 1 November 2013
accession of Kazakhstan was recognized by three Contracting
States of the Convention.
The central authority on implementation of the Convention
provisions is the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic
of Kazakhstan in accordance with the Republic of Kazakhstan
Government’s Decree No. 519 dated 21 May 2014 "On measures to
ensure the implementation of the Republic of Kazakhstan
obligations arising from the Convention on the Civil Aspects of
International Child Abduction of 25 October 1980."
Order No. 208 dated 4 June 2014 issued by the Minister of
Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On
measures to enforce the regulations derived from the Law of the
Republic of Kazakhstan "On Ratification of the Convention on the
Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction", the functions on the
operating activities of the Central Authority were entrusted to the
Committee on the Protection of Children's Rights.
In its efforts to implement its powers as the central authority on
the Convention, the Ministry of Education and Science of the
Republic of Kazakhstan is governed by the following statutory
regulations:

WHAT IS ABDUCTION AND WRONGFUL RETENTION
In accordance with Article 3 of the Convention, the removal or
the retention of a child is to be considered wrongful, where:
a) it is in breach of rights of custody attributed to a person, an
institution or any other body, either jointly or alone, under the law of
the State in which the child was habitually resident immediately
before the removal or retention; and
b)
at the time of removal or retention those rights were
actually exercised, either jointly or alone, or would have been so
exercised but for the removal or retention.
The rights of custody mentioned in sub-paragraph a) above,
may arise in particular by operation of law or by reason of a judicial
or administrative decision, or by reason of an agreement having
legal effect under the law of that State.
The date of wrongful removal is the day of removal of a child
from the State of his/her place of habitual residence.
The date of wrongful retention shall be the first day after the
expiration of the term for which a duly executed consent to the
removal of the child was given.
Example: Parent A gives his/her consent to Parent B for
removal of a child for the period from 21 March to 21 April 2013.
Parent B does not return the child after the deadline. The date of
wrongful retention is 22 April 2013.
IMPORTANT! It depends on the date of the abduction or
wrongful retention whether the Convention shall apply or not.

consideration of physical and legal entities’ applications" on the subject
of whether it is possible to use the Convention in your case. Please

IF A WRONGFUL REMOVAL (ABDUCTION) OF A CHILD FROM
KAZAKHSTAN TO A FOREIGN CONTRACTING STATE OF THE
CONVENTION WAS MADE OR A CHILD WAS WRONGFULLY
RETAINED IN A FOREIGN CONTRACTING STATE OF THE
CONVENTION, WHILE THE STATE OF HABITUAL RESIDENCE OF
THE CHILD IS KAZAKHSTAN
A parent whose child is abducted or retained in a foreign country,
may submit an appropriate application (outgoing application) under the
Convention, to the Central Authority of the Republic of Kazakhstan
(Ministry of Education and Science of Kazakhstan), or directly to the
central authority of the requested state or the competent court of the
requested state, i.e. to the body or court of the state to which the child
was wrongfully removed or retained.
The FORM of a relevant APPLICATION for the return of the child
or application for the exercise of the right of access can be found in
Annex No. 1 and No. 2 or on the official website of the Committee for
the Protection of Children's Rights of the Ministry of Education and
Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (bala-kkk.kz) under the heading
"Protection of children from international abduction." Please note that
the Committee for the Protection of Children's Rights of the Ministry of
Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan should be
indicated an as the requesting Central Authority.
Necessary TRANSLATIONS: In accordance with Article 24 of the
Convention dated 1980, any application, communication or other
document sent to the Central Authority of the requested State shall be
in the original language, and shall be accompanied by a translation into
the official language or one of the official languages of the requested
State or, where that is not feasible, a translation into French or English.
.
However, a Contracting State may object to the use of either
French or English, but not both, in any application, communication or
other document sent to its Central Authority.
Information on reservations about the translation, as well as other
information on the Convention 1980 can be found at the HCCH’s
website (http://www.hcch.net).
To the application you can ATTACH ALL THE DOCUMENTS that
you think are relevant to your case. It is also desirable to make
PHOTOS of the child and the parent that effected his/her wrongful
removal or retention. Please note that in accordance with Article 23 of
the Convention 1980, legalization of the accompanying documents is
not required.
PROCEDURE FOR AN OUTGOING APPLICATION
If an application is sent to the Ministry of Education and Science of
Kazakhstan, it is considered and in case of its compliance with the
requirements of the Convention, it is sent to the relevant central
authority of the State to whose territory a child was wrongfully removed
or in whose territory a child is wrongfully retained (the requested State).
The Central Authority of the requested State in accordance with
the laws of the requested State may take the following measures under
the Convention 1980:
a)
to discover the whereabouts of a child who has been
wrongfully removed or retained;
b) to prevent further harm to the child or prejudice to interested
parties by taking or causing to be taken provisional measures;
c) to secure the voluntary return of the child or to bring about an
amicable resolution of the issues;
d) to exchange, where desirable, information relating to the social
background of the child;
f) to initiate or facilitate the institution of judicial or administrative
proceedings with a view to obtaining the return of the child and, in a
proper case, to make arrangements for organizing or securing the
effective exercise of rights of access;
g) where the circumstances so require, to provide or facilitate the
provision of legal aid and advice, including the participation of legal
counsel and advisers;
h)
to provide such administrative arrangements as may be
necessary and appropriate to secure the safe return of the child;
Then the competent court of the requested State decides to return
or refuse to return a child wrongfully removed to or retained illegally in
the territory of the requested State. Only the court has the right to take
the decision on the return or refusal of such. As a rule, this judicial
procedure shall be initiated by the Parent him/herself from whom the
child was abducted or retained, i.e. apply to the competent court of the
requested state in person or through a lawyer. Central Authorities
usually do not have the power to apply to court on behalf of the parent,
and cannot influence the court's decision.
If the appropriate court of the requested State has not made a
decision within six weeks from the date of commencement of the
proceedings, the applicant or the Central Authority of the requested
State on its own initiative or at the request of the Central Authority of the
requesting State (i.e. the Ministry of Education and Science of the
Republic of Kazakhstan) has the right to demand explanations about
reasons for the delay. If a reply is received by the Central Authority of
the requested State, the authority shall send the response to the
Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan or to
the applicant, depending on the circumstances.
IMPORTANT!
Under the Convention, only one question is decided – it is return of
the child to the country of his/her habitual residence. Questions of
establishing custody, residence and other rights in respect of a child
under the Convention shall not be permitted.
What measures can be taken by the Central Authority of the
requested State depends on the laws of the requested State.
Sometimes the procedure for consideration of the application and
decision taking can be time consuming and involve the payment of
certain expenses.
The Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of
Kazakhstan as the Central Authority of the requesting State may:
1. send a request to the Central Authority of the requested State to
provide information about the progress of the previously sent
application, or an appeal containing applicant's other requests under the
Convention;
2. send a request for the legislation of the requested State in
respect of the application of the Convention;
3. send a request to the Central Authority of the requested State
with an indication of inadequate fulfillment on its part or failure to fulfill
its obligations imposed by the Convention.
As for other measures, the Ministry of Education and Science of
the Republic of Kazakhstan shall not be entitled to take them, since the
procedure of implementation of the Convention 1980 is set by each
Contracting State of the Convention 1980 in accordance with its
domestic laws, and shall be implemented by it on its own territory
independently.
A CHILD HAS BEEN ABDUCTED - WHAT CAN BE DONE?
First of all, you need to understand where exactly the child was
taken.
A) Contracting States of the Convention
The List of Contracting States, as well as coordinates of Central
Authorities of the various countries can be found in Annex No. 3, as
well as on the HCCH’s website in Child Abduction Section
(http://www.hcch.net). On this website you can check the status of
acceptance of your country by the rest Contracting States of the
Convention. If there is such an acceptance, then you can apply for the
child's return to the Central Authority in your country or directly to the
Central Authority of the country where you think your child is retained.
IMPORTANT: You should apply as soon as possible. Time is a significant
factor. If the application is filed later than one year after the abduction, the
chance to return the child is minimal.
B) Countries that do not participate in the Convention
If the country in which your child is retained, does not participate in the
Convention or participate, but has not yet confirmed the acceptance of
Kazakhstan as a party to the Convention, then you can seek help from:
 police in the country where your child is presumed to be
 the Department of Consular Service of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan http://www.mfa.gov.kz/
 the Central Authority of the country in which the child is retained,
