English The Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption does not fully protect children from the purportedly well-intended, but illegal, humanitarian impulses to evacuate children in times of crisis, as evidenced by Operation Babylift and the attempt to airlift children from Chad. French La Convention de la Haye sur la Protection des Enfants et la Coopération relative à l’adoption internationale ne protègent pas entièrement les enfants des impulsions humanitaires soi-disant bien intentionnées, mais illégales, d’évacuer des enfants par temps de crise comme en a fait la preuve l’affaire de l’Arche de Zoé et la tentative d’enlever par pont aérien des enfants du Tchad. Spanish La Convención de La Haya para la Protección de Niños y Cooperación en Respeto de la Adopción entre Países no protege demasiado a los niños de la acción bienintencionada de impulso humanitario, pero ilegal, para evacuar a los niños en tiempos de crisis como fue evidenciado por la Operación Recogida de Niños y el intento de sacar niños de Chad
