Relações internacionais e a cooperação jurídica internacional em casos de sequestro internacional infantil: uma análise do caso Madeleine Mccann

Abstract

The kidnapping of people, especially children and adolescents, is a recurring context in the media in recent times around the world. The disappearance of Madeleine McCann was a memorable episode in the history of Portuguese justice, being one of the most reported disappearances by the country's media. The study in question intends to delve into the challenges encountered in International Relations in the exercise of International Legal Cooperation in cases of international child abduction, besides making an analysis of the Madeleine McCann case, which ended up becoming a unique event, due to the involvement of international actors and the effort for its outcome until the present day. The present project aims at approaching the theories of international relations analysis, together with international legal cooperation supported by the theme of international abduction, and uses authors of great relevance for the scenario of International Relations, such as João Pontes Nogueira, Gilberto Sarfati, Edward H. Carr and Tullo Vigevani.
