    Synopsis

    Wrongful removal of a 7-year old girl – Chilean – unmarried parents – Chilean father – Argentine mother – custody rights belong with the father – the girl lived in Chile until late 2019 – return application submitted before the Family Court in Formosa, Argentina, in September 2020 – return ordered – main issues: removal and retention, settlement of the child, art. 13(1)(b) grave risk, objections of the child to the return, procedural matters, interpretation of the Convention – retention was wrongful because the custody rights of the father, effectively exercised by him at the time, were infringed – the time required by the Convention to refuse the return on grounds of settlement of the child in her new environment did not elapse – no evidence that the child would be exposed to grave risk upon her return – there were no objections by the child showing an irreducible objection against returning to the place of habitual residence – due to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the parents were invited to cooperate in the implementation of the return order and to avoid unnecessary delays – there are no incompatibilities between the Convention and the Convention on the Rights of The Child; both are meant to protect the best interests of the child.
