Reply to Mary McCusker's note to my comment A child does not automatically have the nationality of the country of its birth. Certainly in the United Kingdom, unless the parents have British nationality, the child is regarded as having the nationality of its parents. The whole issue of nationality is quite complex and using the word "repatriation" is not necessary here where "return" will do quite nicely.
jarry (X) Dec 13, 2008:
Return The criminal processes enable the arrest of the abducting parent but do not specifically order the return of the child, although the child is usually returned when the parent is apprehended. The civil process, on the other hand, facilitates the return of the child but in no way seeks the arrest or return of the abductor. As a result, a criminal process would not be pursued if circumstances indicate it will jeopardize an active Hague Convention civil process. See: http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cid/cac/family.htm

clarification De zin is als volgt: "De vader heeft via de Centrale Autoriteit met succes een verzoek tot teruggeleiding gedaan."
Thanx

I get the sense this might be 'repatriation', but it would be useful to have the entire sentence or other context...

Return

is the appropriate term here.
Peer comment(s):
agree Textpertise : Repatriation brings in issues of nationality. We do not know whether the child's nationality is the same as the appellant parent or whether the child's return to the custody of that parent is repatriation or not.

Thank you
agree Robert Kleemaier : Given the presumed register of the source text and Jarry's explanation under Discussion Entries, this is IMHO the best option

repatriation

Thanks for clarification. I think this should indeed be translated as 'repatriation', since there is a sense of physical transfer. Alternately, the expression in the text provided by writeaway, 'restoration of custody' would be an option.

disagree Textpertise : Repatriation brings in issues of nationality. We do not know whether the child's nationality is the same as the appellant parent's so can't say whether the child's return to the custody of that parent is repatriation or not.

But it was clearly indicated that the child is being returned to the country of birth.

agree Textpertise : this extract supports Jarry. **verzoeken tot teruggeleiding** is translated as **applications for the return**. Just thought I would point that out ;-)
