Foreign child rights in private international law

The presence of children in countries other than their countries of nationality as a result of openness and ease of movement between different countries and the increase in cases of mixed marriage and the difference in nationality of fathers and mothers led to a difference in laws and legislation governing this type of international or cross-border relations and made the issue of determining the applicable law to any dispute in which the sponsor has a special right, such as the right to lineage, custody or inheritance, which relates to the child’s basic interests, a complex matter because it is tainted with a foreign element and because the child is in a weak legal position and cannot manage his life and provide protection for himself. It was necessary to strive to provide the broadest protection for the rights of the child by choosing an applicable law that is in the best interest of the child.

Abstract

The presence of children in countries other than their countries of nationality as a result of openness and ease of movement between different countries and the increase in cases of mixed marriage and the difference in nationality of fathers and mothers led to a difference in laws and legislation governing this type of international or cross-border relations and made the issue of determining the applicable law to any dispute in which the sponsor has a special right, such as the right to lineage, custody or inheritance, which relates to the child’s basic interests, a complex matter because it is tainted with a foreign element and because the child is in a weak legal position and cannot manage his life and provide protection for himself. It was necessary to strive to provide the broadest protection for the rights of the child by choosing an applicable law that is in the best interest of the child.
