SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2017, para. 50
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Many children end up in crowded facilities, often together with adults who are not family members. They may find themselves in places with fast-track proceedings, and in fact at high risk of "fast-return proceedings" where their best interests are hardly considered. They may end up confined in airports, at port facilities or on islands; placed in detention centres, prisons or cells for military personnel; and even put in containers with no windows, at times in complete isolation.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Representative of the Secretary-General on violence against children
