A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of "Countering International Parental Child Abduction Month" and expressing the sense of the Senate that Congress should raise awareness of the harm caused by international parental child abduction.

This is a nonbinding Senate resolution (S. Res. 150) introduced in the 119th Congress. Its core purpose is to support the goals of “Countering International Parental Child Abduction Month” and to urge Congress and the United States to raise public awareness about the harms caused by international parental child abduction. The resolution emphasizes the illegality of cross-border removal or retention of a child to obstruct parental rights, cites extensive statistics and prior findings about the issue, and underscores the United States’ ongoing leadership role in prevention, return, and awareness. It also calls on the Department of State to actively use existing tools and authorities to address abduction cases, including negotiating bilateral agreements or memorandums of understanding with non-Hague countries and with countries that later join the Hague Convention, and to publicly share those agreements. Because it is a resolution, it does not create new law or authorize funding; its impact is primarily to express a policy stance and shape public and diplomatic priorities.
