Abe tells Obama Japan will join child abduction treaty
Japan never signed the treaty.
11 Ambassadors to Japan have issued a joint statement urging Japan to ratify the 1980 Hague Convention on international child abduction.
11人の駐日大使が、「1980年国際的な子の奪取（の民事面）に関する
ハーグ条約」を批准するよう日本に強く求める共同声明を発表しました。

“From the perspective of children, there is an increasing number of international marriages, meaning that there will be some cases where marriages will break down. Therefore we believe it is important to have international rules,” Abe told reporters after talks with Obama.
perspective=見方、態度、視点, 評価する能力、見通せる力
However, Abe did not set a timeframe.
a timeframe = 時間枠
Unlike Western nations, Japan does not recognize joint custody and courts almost always order that children of divorcees live with their mothers.
joint custody = 共同保管制、共同養育
His parents got divorced, but they share custody.
the court = 裁判
