The guardianship of unaccompanied minors
Summary:
Abstract
PURPOSE:This paper aims to present the policies and practices developed for the management of migration flows regarding the unaccompanied minors - third country nationals by the Greek State. The problems and challenges presented in the light of the Directives of the European Union (EU) and its common treatment for third country nationals from all Member States,are of crucial importance in this paper.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: It is a study that falls within the scope of public policy analysis and is based on data collected from several scientific studies,mainly of a legal nature.The research includes the policy texts and the policy directions issued by the European Committee for the unaccompanied minors, as well as the laws and decisions of the Greek legal order and the way they apply the European law.
RESULTS: A comparative examination of the legal data and that provided by the respective public services shows that despite the efforts made, it is only partially able to meet the needs associated with unaccompanied minors arriving in Greece. In particular, 70% of unaccompanied minors arriving in our country do not have access to services defined by European and national legislation on the protection of unaccompanied minors until they reach adulthood.
CONCLUSIONS: The legal basis and the expertise for the management of migration flows exists and defines an area of action in a particularly human spirit and in the direction of the effective protection of human rights, especially of minors, mainly through the action plans and the directions set by the the European Commission. However, the lack of funding, the inadequacy of infrastructure and the sortage of personnel hamper the management of unaccompanied minors since it is difficult for
Greece to cope with the needs for the protection of the thousands of children who arrive annually in our country.
