In a case looking at the interplay between obligations of the state, under the 1980 Hague Convention and under immigration law the Convention and Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees.

This case notably looks at the apparent tension between the objective of the 1980 Hague

This case also raised issues as to the rights of children in the context of such situations.
