Summary:
This thesis provides qualitative research of asylum seeking of unaccompanied children in Greece. Children who find themselves traveling borders without company of a family member are in a very vulnerable position. In this thesis, the experience of unaccompanied children undergoing an asylum process in the Greek jurisdiction is presented and the consequences of this process are also presented. With the creation of territorial boundaries embodied with an institution of state sovereignty, unaccompanied children find themselves in a position of statelessness which produces a situation of rightlessness as they find themselves outside their own territories. This research will be designed so that we can understand the barriers faced by unaccompanied minors in seeking asylum in Greece. How affects unaccompanied minors of the asylum process. It will also be extremely interesting to see how effective the role of the Greek state is in relation to the safety and dignified life of children. The goal is to see how children experience through the asylum process as well as waiting for an answer. In addition, will examine if or not the Greek state complies with international and European conventions / laws on the rights of the child.
