From the State Department’s annual report (2016) on International Child Abduction:

Romania demonstrated a pattern of noncompliance with its obligations under the Hague Abduction Convention in 2015 because:

-Thirty percent or more of the total abduction cases are unresolved abduction cases as defined by the Act;

-The judicial authority regularly failed to implement and comply with the provisions of the Convention; and

-Law enforcement authorities regularly failed to enforce return orders rendered by the judicial authorities.

The Convention is in force between the United States and Romania.

To improve the resolution of abduction cases in Romania, the Department recommends that the United States:

-Promote training with judicial and law enforcement authorities on the effective handling of international parental child abduction cases and enforcing court-ordered returns; and

-Hold bilateral meetings with Romanian government officials to encourage Romania to comply with its obligations under the Convention.
