The European Convention on the Repatriation of Minors is a 1970 Council of Europe treaty which allows a state to request that other states return minors to its legal jurisdiction.
On the date of conclusion, it was signed by Austria, Belgium, France, West Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
It was later signed by Italy (1971), Turkey (1974), Greece (1980), and Malta (2015).
To enter into force, the Convention required three states to ratify or accede to it.
As a result, the Convention entered into force on 28 July 2015.
