Resumo e pontuação.
Cabo Verde is a Contracting Party to the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention, in force since 2023-01-01 (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.
