International law is the body of treaties and conventions that regulate relationships between nations, establishing rules on issues like child custody to determine which countries' courts have jurisdiction over cases involving parents from different nations and requiring courts to recognize the rulings of other signatory nations' courts. Without such agreements, a parent could ignore a custody ruling by taking a child to a non-signatory nation to seek a new order.

International law is the body of treaties and conventions that
regulate the relationships between nations.
For example, the various international treaties and
conventions on child custody establish rules as to which countries courts will have jurisdiction when parents from two different nations fight over custody of their children, and establish that the courts in one signatory nation will recognize the rulings of courts in other signatory nations.
Without such treaties, if - for example - a mother in the US
was awarded custody of her daughter and the Canadian father disliked that order, he could abduct the child to Canada and seek a Canadian custody order. This is exactly what happens in cases where one parent is from a nonsignatory nation, such as most Muslim countries. <<<<<<<END>>>>>>>>>
