1996-I). However, the removal of a person from a country 
where close family members are living may amount to an infringement of 
the right to respect for family life, as guaranteed by Article 8 § 1 of the 
Convention (see 
Boultif
, cited above, § 39). Where children are involved, 
their best interests must be taken into account and national decision-making 
bodies have a duty to assess evidence in respect of the practicality, 
feasibility and proportionality of any removal of a non-national parent in 
order to give effective protection and sufficient weight to the best interests 
of the children directly affected by it (see
