The 1980 Hague Convention is not in force between Australia and the following countries (despite them being Hague signatories): Andorra, Gabon, Guinea, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Lesotho, Morocco, Russia, Seychelles and Zambia. This means you cannot make a 1980 Hague Convention application for the return of, or access to, children located in these countries.
Separately, Australia has Bilateral Agreements with Lebanon and Egypt.
