The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 24
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Pursuant to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, States are also required to respect the rights of children to express their views freely in all matters affecting them and to provide them with the opportunity to be heard in any relevant judicial and administrative proceedings. To this end, the child should be given effective access to information on all matters affecting his or her interests, such as his or her situation, entitlements, services available and the family reunification and/or repatriation processes. Further, the need to ensure active participation of children implies that the child should be provided with legal representation without costs to the child, as well as with interpretation into the native language of the child, as necessary.
