Advice needed on Legal Action Against British Government

[mychildren]

Hello,

I am new and I just cannot work out how to post a new topic on the right section. If the adminstrators wish to move my posting to a relevant section, please do so.

I wish to obtain information and advice to present a case/complaint against the UK government for an illegal action they took against my family and I through their embassy/the Foreign Office. There is an element of corruption in what they did too. I am a British citizen but they took this illegal action abroad (outside the EU) where I am at present. I have a local solicitor who confirmed the illegality in his evaluation but he does not have experience with the UK or EU and speaks little English to come to forums like this to seek information, so I am helping.

The main question I have is which body, who do I take my complaint or legal action to, which international body. Clearly, I cannot take it to the English courts or Government as the claim is against them.

I can put more information here if there are people who can give me advice. I will appreciate. It is urgent as it involves my children.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum, I have placed your posts in the off topic and general discussions section of the forum for now.

I must make clear from the outset that we cannot give legal advice.  However, that said, we can offer general advice on what to do, who to seek help from etc. Before we can do that we have to have more information about the difficulties that you are facing.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I understand you do not give specific legal advice. But if the advice leads to someone who can give that legal advice, it will be great.

Of course the main difficulty is that my children and I have been forcibly separated without justification. My solicitor and I are preparing a claim about violation of Human Rights for the way we have been treated over the years. We know where to go for that Human Rights claim.

My children and I have not had contact for 10 months. This is totally distressing for a mother and the children.

But this request is specifically in the field of an international criminal action and that is where we are unsure where to go to denounce or make a claim. We have all the evidence.

The UK government, through their embassy/the Foreign Office, came and captured my children giving false information to Interpol who they used for this. They took the children out of the country with documents they made. They violated the local law and the Hague Convention 1980. There is an element of corruption in what they did too. I am told they must have bribed people to be able to do this without observing the law. I am a British citizen but they took this illegal action abroad (in Latin America) where I am at present. I have a local solicitor who confirmed the illegality in his evaluation but he does not have experience with the UK or EU and speaks little English to come to a forum like this one to seek information, so I am helping.

The UK government knew they had to follow a legal process in this country, where we both would have presented our respective cases and evidence, but they decided to bypass the legal process as they knew I had a case and substantial evidence against them. They could only bypass the legal route by doing things illegally.

So my main question is which international body would deal with this matter. We need to put together the case and present it. If we can get more advice by people in the know about international cases that would be better. I say it is kidnap. My solicitor is more cautious and says it is an illegal capture of the children who are now held captive and without communication with me. They must be suffering like me now. Thank you.

The details you have provided are far too vague to be able to offer informed advice.  Each and every country has its own rules about these things, each has a unique relationship with the UK.  To be able to understand your predicament sufficiently to be able to help, you will have to provide significantly more background information.

[mychildren]

Hello, as discussed before, I am not asking for specific legal advice on the case. There is too much detail to consider and there is confidential information I cannot disclose. The general information is sufficient for what I am asking:

1- Somebody who can help me prepare and submit my case.

2- Information on who to take the case to: European Court of Justice, European Ombudsman, United Nations agency, etc

3- Somebody who knows how to present a case like mine to the press and to crowdfunding platforms in order to:

3A- Raise awareness and support of the public against abuse of authority against us.
 
3B- Raise funds to pay the legal costs to take the case to an international court o body or:

Take my case to a Pro Bono agency to help me with the costs.

Thank you

A good starting point would be to commence legal proceedings in the country where your children are now resident.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I myself have taken time to come back. I suddenly got busy with something urgent.

Yes, in fact we are about to start legal proceedings in the country where the capture happened but I need to start investigating about taking to the international plane. A campaign would help us enormously, like groups of people who get together to protest against deportations in the UK.

But I still need to find out about legal action internationally as the matter could get buried in this country.

Any leads, people who can help, etc, will be greatly appreciated. This is matter of justice for my children primarily (for me too).
