| Facts of the case | Applicant married Jordan man; he brought their child to live with family in Jordan. She obtained a UK court order, demanding him to return the child, but he left for Jordan. |
| Analysis | Applicant wants UK authorities to actively ensure that her child is returned to her custody, but they have only adviced her on attracting a Jordan lawyer to enforce the UK court order on Jordan’s territory and have informed her about the well-being of the child. The Commission stresses that no more can be done by the UK. |
