N2 - Despite the increasing social impact of unaccompanied
migrant minors (UAMs) in many European Union (EU) member states,
EU regulations on UAMs are still inadequate and the necessary protection
measures are thus insufficient. More specifically, the “best interest of the
child”, stated in a large number of international documents, may not be
properly guaranteed. In addition, there is often a discrepancy between
the rights of migrant children, according to the international legislation,
and the actual protection they receive. Moreover, despite the declared
aim of reaching a common standard of reception and inclusion, policies
and practices across Europe are still very different. The paper attempts
to highlight and discuss some critical issues regarding UAMs in Europe.
Over and beyond the need for the EU to develop a common framework,
greater efforts should be made in order to improve inclusion of UAMs,
especially to ensure the management of the phenomenon beyond the
current emergency.
