Putting Children’s Rights at the Heart of Decision-Making in Cases Involving Children on the Move: Gathering Momentum in Europe

The European Child Rights Helpdesk has identified four foundation stones necessary to ensure a robust and fair system which can ensure that the rights of children on the move are taken into account in administrative and judicial proceedings. Having compared challenges and practices in ensuring these foundation stones are in place, the partners have developed joint recommendations for a common agenda for change. The aim of this reflection paper is to contribute to and encourage the Europe-wide dialogue on achieving progress amongst policy makers, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and international governmental organisations (IGOs), practitioners and academics.
