States to return these children to their custodial parent or to the 
original jurisdiction for a custody determination in the United States, 
to provide left-behind parents immediate access to their children, and 
to adopt without delay the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects 
of International Child Abduction, as amended, on which the yeas and 
nays were ordered.
