Greece is a Contracting Party to the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention, in force since 1993-06-01 (Ratification). Its Accountability Index score is driven overwhelmingly by return performance — whether abducted children are actually returned (80% of the score) — with legal framework, judicial engagement and treaty integration as system-quality context.

- No public Central-Authority budget line located.
Εμπιστοσύνη: Medium (0.51) — confidence reflects the strength and breadth of evidence, separately from performance. A low confidence means "we cannot yet fully evaluate," not "this country performs badly."
