About this statute

This provision identifies Law 880 of 2004 as approving the Inter-American Convention on the International Return of Minors. La Convención busca asegurar la pronta restitución de menores trasladados o retenidos ilegalmente entre Estados Parte y hacer respetar el derecho de visita y custodia o guarda. For this Convention, a minor is any person who has not reached sixteen years of age. This provision defines custody/guardianship and visitation rights for a child. A child’s removal or retention is considered illegal if it violates the custody or care rights exercised just before the event by the parents, guardians, or a relevant institution, under the law of the child’s habitual residence.
