This article identifies a troubling omission on the part of the European Court of Human Rights, when it considers cases involving the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. Such cases often involve one parent, who has abducted the child, alleging that their actions were necessary to protect themselves or the child from violence by the other parent. The Court has avoided considering arguments based on Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights in such cases, despite the now established relevance of that Article to the risks of family violence. A change of course is needed, in order to articulate clear principles for the ECtHR’s own Hague cases, and reinforce the absoluteness of Article 3 protection elsewhere.

规避策略：斯特拉斯堡、海牙儿童诱拐公约和绝对禁止虐待

本文指出了欧洲人权法院在审理涉及《关于国际儿童拐骗的民事方面的海牙公约》的案件时令人不安的疏忽。此类案件通常涉及绑架孩子的一方父母，声称他们的行为对于保护自己或孩子免受另一方父母的暴力侵害是必要的。法院在此类案件中避免考虑基于《欧洲人权公约》第 3 条的论点，尽管该条现已确定与家庭暴力的风险相关。需要改变路线，以便为 ECtHR 自己的海牙案件阐明明确的原则，并在其他地方加强第 3 条保护的绝对性。
