    See Matter of Recinas, 23 I&N Dec. 467 (BIA 2002).Matter of Recinas distinguished two prior highly restrictive decisions of the BIA interpreting the statutory standard for cancellation-B: Matter of Monreal, 23 I&N Dec. 56 (BIA 2001); and Matter of Andazola, 23 I&N Dec. 319 (BIA 2002).It has been plausibly argued that customary international law should play some role in the “hardship” analysis, including the mandate of the Convention on the Rights of the Child that the “best interests of the child” be observed in all instances.
