Whether the Hague Convention authorizes a determination that children with no habitual residence are unprotected against international child abduction

The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction applies only when children are removed from their country of habitual residence. The question presented is: Whether the Convention authorizes a determination that children who have lived for several years in the same residence in the same country have no habitual residence in that country or any other country and therefore have no protection against international child abduction under the Convention.
