The international child abduction has become increasingly common in the international system. When comparing 2008 to 2003, there has been a growth of 56% in the total number of registered cases. In order to protect the best interests of the child, it was established in 1980, at the 14th session of the Hague Conference on Private International Law, the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. Considering this, the objective of this work is to verify Brazil’s behaviour on Convention cases - specifically the cases registered with the United States - and if it, as a member of the Convention, has ensured the due application of the Convention in these situations, and if it’s taking steps that aim a more effective and efficient implementation of the terms of this treaty. We conclude that for the period analyzed, Brazil’s implementation of the terms of the Convention was inappropriate and the measures already taken in order to improve this situation, even if showing positive results, are not sufficient to give the country the status of fully compliant with the Convention. Therefore, it is essential the adoption of additional measures in the country in the next years in order to eliminate the complaints registered by foreign countries about the Brazilian behaviour concerning the international child abduction.
