Présentiel
How are unaccompanied migrant children treated when they reach Europe’s borders? This lecture explores the legal and practical challenges surrounding their reception and protection through the lens of international human rights law. Drawing on the jurisprudence of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, the European courts, and the recent EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, it examines the persistent gaps between legal standards and state practice, with particular attention to current developments in age assessment, procedural safeguards, and immigration detention.
