New Publication - "Unaccompanied Minor Asylum Seekers: Overview of Protection, Assistance and Promising Practices"

IOM Budapest is proud to announce the publication of the "Unaccompanied Minor Asylum Seekers: Overview of Protection, Assistance and Promising Practices" report, which surveys and compares national systems for the protection of and assistance to UAMAS and fUAMAS in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Netherlands, and the UK, with the aim of contributing to the development of a coordinated approach towards addressing the needs of these vulnerable groups. It is based on desk reviews and 313 semi-structured interviews with 192 UAMAS and fUAMAS, as well as with 121 adults who served or were serving in the roles of guardians, care workers, attorneys and other experts in charge of implementation of child protection and immigration policies.The report presents key findings related to multiple dimensions and it reveals, among others, widespread agreement among UAMAS, fUAMAS and experts that despite efforts to inform minors about the asylum procedure and related aspects, they are still not fully apprised of essential information and are consequently unable to make informed decisions on matters affecting them.

This report was prepared within the project ‘Best Practices for a Coordinated Approach to Assist Unaccompanied Minor Asylum-Seekers (UAMAS) and Former UAMAS (fUAMAS) in EU Member States’. The project was implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), with funding by the European Union and co-funding by UNHCR in the UK and IOM The Hague, between July 2010 and December 2011.

For further information, and to download the report, please visit the Featured Publications section of our website.
