요약 및 점수
Republic of Korea is a Contracting Party to the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention, in force since 2013-03-01 (Accession), with an Article 38 acceptance check required for some country pairs. 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.

데이터 품질 및 한계점
- Per-country return outcomes are not published; the 39% figure is a global aggregate.
- No public Central-Authority budget line located.
신뢰도: Medium (0.58) — 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."
