Focus: Children
France Terre d'Asile and its partners have published a new study on the "Right to Asylum for Unaccompanied Minors in the European Union." Here's part of the Introduction:"At the time the European Union States committed to establishing a Common European Asylum System (CEAS), the adaptation of procedures and practices for unaccompanied children seeking asylum remains an important issue. In fact, this particularly vulnerable population needs standards adapted to its specific situation. Issues such as legal guardianship, support during the procedure or conditions of interview are crucial for an effective protection of these children. In this context, this study aims to analyze legislation and practices in all the 27 EU countries, in order to identify good practices, gaps and ways to improve the implementation of the right to asylum for unaccompanied children within the European Union."
Currently, the report is only available in English, but will also be made available in French. There are also summaries in French and in English; six other language versions will soon follow and will be posted at the link above.
