Treatment of Unaccompanied and Separated Children Outside Their Country of Origin 2005, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- Unaccompanied or separated children recognized as refugees and granted asylum do not only enjoy rights under the 1951 Refugee Convention, but are also entitled to the fullest extent to the enjoyment of all human rights granted to children in the territory or subject to the jurisdiction of the State, including those rights which require a lawful stay in the territory.

Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 55
- Paragraph text
- To coordinate care and support for children and their families, the International Rescue Committee, Save the Children and UNICEF have developed and promoted the use of a standard inter-agency child protection information management system (CPIMS). Although originally designed to facilitate family tracing and reunification, the system was re-designed in 2009 to support all thematic areas of child protection. To date, it has been used in 17 countries.

Comprehensive, rights-based and child-centred care, recovery and reintegration programmes 2015, para. 39
- Paragraph text
- States bear the primary responsibility in the design and implementation of programmes, policies and services to ensure the right to care, recovery and reintegration of children, including their timely identification as victims. However, in many settings, non-governmental organizations provide these services, often with the support of United Nations actors and other development partners, complementing government service provision or, where these do not exist, filling the vacuum.

Joint general comment No. 4 (2017) of the Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families and No. 23 (2017) of the Committee on the Rights of the Child on State obligations regarding the human rights of c ... 2017, para. 29
- Paragraph text
- The Committees are of the view that the rupture of the family unit by the expulsion of one or both parents based on a breach of immigration laws related to entry or stay is disproportionate, as the sacrifice inherent in the restriction of family life and the impact on the life and development of the child is not outweighed by the advantages obtained by forcing the parent to leave the territory because of an immigration-related offence. Migrant children and their families should also be protected in cases where expulsions would constitute arbitrary interference with the right to family and private life. The Committees recommend that States provide avenues for status regularization for migrants in an irregular situation residing with their children, particularly when a child has been born or has lived in the country of destination for an extended period of time, or when return to the parent’s country of origin would be against the child’s best interests. Where the expulsion of parents is based on criminal offences, their children’s rights, including the right to have their best interests be a primary consideration and their right to be heard and have their views taken seriously, should be ensured, also taking into account the principle of proportionality and other human rights principles and standards.

Rights of migrant workers in an irregular situation and members of their families 2013, para. 11
- Paragraph text
- Regional human rights treaties protect all migrants against refoulement and collective expulsion. However, the procedural safeguards in individual expulsion proceedings in regional human rights treaties apply only to migrants who are lawfully within the territory of a State party. The rights protected in the European Social Charter apply to "foreigners only insofar as they are nationals of other Contracting Parties lawfully resident or working regularly within the territory of the Contracting Party concerned", or to migrant workers and their families "lawfully within their territories". The opinions of the European Committee of Social Rights, however, have held that the European Social Charter also applies to vulnerable categories of undocumented migrant children. Moreover, the right to education is guaranteed to all migrant children, regardless of their migration status, in all regional human rights systems.

Gender-related dimensions of refugee status, asylum, nationality and statelessness of women 2014, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- Given the critical importance of nationality to the full participation of women in society, the significant number and nature of reservations made by some States parties to article 9 of the Convention undermine the object and purpose of the Convention. The rights to nationality and non-discrimination contained in many other international human rights instruments, which reinforce the equal right of women to nationality, also raise the question of the validity and legal effect of such reservations. The Committee notes with interest the trend towards the withdrawal or, at least, the narrowing of reservations to article 9 and the related tendency of States parties to introduce formal equality of men and women in nationality laws, thereby reducing the risk of discrimination against women and in particular of statelessness among women and their children.

Treatment of Unaccompanied and Separated Children Outside Their Country of Origin 2005, para. 93
- Paragraph text
- The best-interests assessment determination, prior to a decision to resettle, needs also to take into account other factors such as: the envisaged duration of legal or other obstacles to a child's return to his or her home country; the child's right to preserve his or her identity, including nationality and name (art. 8); the child's age, sex, emotional state, educational and family background; continuity/discontinuity of care in the host country; the desirability of continuity in a child's upbringing and to the child's ethnic, religious, cultural and linguistic background (art. 20); the right of the child to preserve his or her family relations (art. 8) and related short, medium and long-term possibilities of family reunion either in the home, host, or resettlement country. Unaccompanied or separated children should never be resettled to a third country if this would undermine or seriously hamper future reunion with their family.

In these matters a child should have the right to be heard and enjoy the other rights "consistent with the procedural rules of national law".

The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 48
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur takes this opportunity to emphasize that school learning content and non-formal learning for refugees and asylum-seekers in refugee camps should aim to transmit key life-saving and life-sustaining messages (including landmine and unexploded ordinance awareness, rapid evacuation, skills-based health education, conflict resolution, humanitarian norms, child protection, etc.) in addition to preparation for local integration, repatriation or resettlement. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur specifically draws attention to, and welcomes, the educational work of UNHCR, but encourages increased attention, intensity and breadth in its provision.

The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 61
- Paragraph text
- Lifelong learning cannot be disassociated from immigration law, which often forces migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers into illegality and which may take precedence over and/or be in conflict with the right to education. Indeed, a number of questionnaire respondents supported the claims in wider literature on the issue pointing to such tensions. The attention of the Special Rapporteur has been drawn to the practice of migrant children being detained by police on the grounds of their immigration status while travelling to school and the dependence on permanent legal residence for education access and opportunity.

Financing education and update on education in emergencies 2011, para. 81
- Paragraph text
- Refugees and internally displaced persons continue to face great obstacles when seeking education outside their communities of origin. Data collected by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees within official camps indicated limited and uneven access to education across camps; the overall primary school participation rate of refugee children in camps was 69 per cent and at the secondary level only 30 per cent. Several countries maintain administrative barriers to the enrolment of both refugee and internally displaced children, despite human rights obligations to provide education without discrimination of any kind to all children living in their territories and the relevant provisions of the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Short-term financing of projects in situations of prolonged displacement threatens the education, and progression, of many thousands of refugee and internally displaced children; gaps in the financing of education in such situations must be addressed as a matter of priority because of the long-lasting impact of the denial of education to these populations.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- Migrant domestic workers are, like other migrants, often unprotected by worker rights. They are subject to extreme abuses, including forced labour and trafficking and gender-based violence. They may be deprived of food and sleep, denied medical treatment and prohibited from leaving their workplace. Zainab Yusuf, a Kenyan worker trafficked to Saudi Arabia, had to work 21 hours a day cleaning and caring for her employers' seven children. She could not leave the house or contact her family, and faced ongoing sexual harassment and physical abuse from her employer and his sons. Under such conditions, domestic workers have no opportunity to peacefully assemble or to associate.

Reflection on work undertaken in first 14 years of the mandate; outline of opportunities and priorities 2014, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- Migrant workers have also made important advances in addressing discrimination in economic and social contexts, such as discrimination based on citizenship or immigration status, including "undocumented" status. Migrant domestic workers, migrant construction workers (for example, those working in extractive industries or large-scale infrastructure projects), children, older migrants and migrants in irregular situations are the most vulnerable, often lacking administrative or judicial remedies for their housing claims. Migrant workers and the members of their families frequently face housing conditions characterized by overcrowding, irregular or unregulated rental markets, high exposure to arbitrary changes in the cost of rent or essential services, and substandard living conditions, and can be subject to abuse, in particular when they are undocumented.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 60
- Paragraph text
- Education also provides routine, normality, a protective function, support and information and can be an important step towards community integration in displacement locations. For IDPs, education may be a low priority in the face of survival needs. Children may contribute economically to displaced communities, which can be another barrier to their schooling. Internally displaced parents may exclude children from school in the belief that they will quickly return to their original homes, only for their displacement to become protracted. Parents may also hesitate to send their children to school in conflict zones which may be targeted for forced recruitment of children.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 62
- Paragraph text
- As women and mothers, poor and frequently from minorities, internally displaced women face multiple and intersectional challenges. Women are frequently separated from men in conflict-related displacement situations, sometimes permanently due to the death of men, or to men joining the armed conflict or being forced to flee the conflict without their families. Women also frequently have the primary responsibility of caring for children and the elderly and are less able to seek employment or income-generating activities. Despite these obstacles, internally displaced women frequently take on family and community leadership roles.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- Seeking and obtaining employment or livelihood activities are commonly more difficult for displaced persons in unfamiliar localities who may face additional barriers, including discrimination, loss of documents, and the psychosocial impact and pressures of displacement. Where they find refuge in areas of existing unemployment or economic hardship they are likely to be the last to gain work if it does become available. Women and mothers are likely to face unique challenges and restrictions to their income-generating activities, including childcare issues and the threat of violence if they leave the camps.

It calls for a transformative shift away from business as usual and proposes six "essential elements": (a) dignity: to end poverty and fight inequalities; (b) people: to ensure healthy lives, knowledge and the inclusion of women and children; (c) prosperity: to grow a strong, inclusive, and transformative economy; (d) planet: to protect our ecosystems for all societies and our children; (e) justice: to promote safe and peaceful societies and strong institutions; (f) partnership: to catalyse global solidarity for sustainable development.

Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 52
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur notes with regret the widespread practices of forced evictions of migrants around the world. There are many instances where migrants, most often vulnerable groups such as irregular migrants, asylum-seekers and unaccompanied children, are forcibly evicted from their homes without adequate notice, prior consultation or alternative accommodation. Such forced evictions often take place to clear slums, squatter camps and other informal settlements in the name of development, beautification and regeneration of the areas concerned, or for the holding of major events. In the absence of alternative accommodation provided by States, the evicted residents are often rendered homeless and pushed into areas where they have no access to basic services, employment opportunities or sources of livelihood. Reports suggest that irregular migrants are often arrested and arbitrarily deported to their countries of origin following forced evictions. These practices of forced evictions clearly undermine not only migrants' right to adequate housing, but also other related rights such as the rights to health, food, water and education.

Regional study: management of the European Union external border and the impact on the human rights of migrants 2013, para. 52

- For example, the Special Rapporteur repeatedly witnessed inadequate procedures for detention, including the failure to guarantee proper legal representation, lack of access for detainees to consular services, and interpretation or translation services, lack of appropriate detection procedures for vulnerable individuals and lack of recourse to effective remedies. Conditions of detention were also precarious, with inadequate health care or psychosocial support, and prison-like conditions. In Tunisia, Turkey and Greece, he also witnessed the detention of children and families, and the lack of a proper system of guardianship for children. In all countries visited, he observed the detention of persons without prospect of removal, and a quasi-total absence of meaningful alternatives to detention mechanisms.

Developing the Global Compact on Migration 2016, para. 59
- Paragraph text
- Although some migrants, such as children, older persons, women travelling alone and migrants with disabilities, are vulnerable, the majority are not intrinsically vulnerable. On the contrary, they are most often incredibly resilient and courageous, making life-altering decisions on a regular basis. However, through policy and practice decisions that result in a lack of effective access to justice, States may create precarious conditions of legal status or regulatory frameworks that allow many to abuse and exploit migrants with impunity. For example, there are cases in which temporary migrant worker schemes do not provide for adequate oversight mechanisms; countries that rarely enforce the prohibition of recruitment fees, leading to situations of debt bondage, and rarely streamline their labour recruitment industry to ensure it effectively protects the rights of migrants; and labour inspection mechanisms that collaborate with immigration enforcement to expel undocumented migrants rather than try to enforce labour standards against the exploitative employers of such migrants.

Developing the Global Compact on Migration 2016, para. 99

- The Special Rapporteur noted, in recent international conversations, an increased focus on the return of migrants not benefiting from refugee protection. Certainly, refugees need protection in accordance with the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. However, all migrants need the protection of their rights in accordance with international human rights law and international labour law, in particular in cases of detention, physical or mental abuse, labour exploitation, forced labour, return to torture, sexual and gender-based violence, separation of families, privacy and the protection of children.

Sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism 2013, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- In spite of the lack of detailed data on cases of CST, globalization, increasing social inequalities, vulnerability of children, the lack of a global legal framework prohibiting CST and ensuring extraterritoriality allow the expansion of CST. If abusers relied on travel agents or tour operators to arrange the logistics of their travels in the past, today they can plan and book discretely online. The ever-expanding availability of cheap travel has certainly contributed to the continuous growth of international tourism, which, despite a recession, still grew by 4.6 per cent in 2011. With international tourist arrivals predicted to reach 1.8 billion by 2030 (982 million in 2011) and emerging economies like Africa, Asia and the Pacific tipped to see the strongest growth, the number of tourists with easy access to vulnerable children will certainly increase, thus expanding the risk of children being sexually exploited.
