A newly implemented system that links databases is being credited with helping combat international child abductions. In one case, two missing children were safely recovered at the Islamabad, Pakistan, airport in an apparent abduction by a noncustodial parent. Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) emigration database that was linked with Interpol’s global Integrated Border Management System (IBMS) pinpointed the children when they arrived at the airport with their father after traveling from the central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan. The children were reported missing in 2022, after which time Pakistan authorities had issued global police alerts known as yellow notices. The FIA said the ability to leverage the Interpol system, as well as enhanced cooperation among international agencies, marks a significant advancement in addressing international child abductions and other security issues.
