Paragraph
Detention of migrants in an irregular situation 2012, para. 41
- Paragraph text
- Children can also make migratory journeys on their own, sometimes having been separated from their parents or other adult relatives. These unaccompanied or separated children are vulnerable to becoming victims of human rights violations, such as sexual and economic exploitation and trafficking, and their situation requires special attention. In its general comment No. 6 (2005) on treatment of unaccompanied and separated children outside their country of origin, the Committee on the Rights of the Child stated that unaccompanied and separated children should not, as a general rule, be detained, and detention cannot be justified solely on the basis of their migratory or residence status, or lack thereof, nor should they be criminalized solely for reasons of irregular entry or presence in the country. The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has stated that, given the availability of alternatives to detention, it is difficult to conceive of a situation in which the detention of an unaccompanied minor would comply with the requirements stipulated in article 37 (b) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (A/HRC/13/30, para. 60). States should instead appoint a guardian or adviser as soon as the unaccompanied or separated child is identified and maintain such guardianship arrangements until the child has either reached the age of majority or has permanently left the territory and/or jurisdiction of the State.

Paragraph
Developing the Global Compact on Migration 2016, para. 99
- Paragraph text
- 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.

Paragraph
Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 59
- Paragraph text
- Further, concern is expressed in particular with respect to independent, unaccompanied migrant children. Unaccompanied children are particularly vulnerable to social exclusion and often have limited access to housing, due to the absence of adults' assistance either via social networks or housing markets. Thus, independent and unaccompanied migrant children are more likely to be homeless or to live in collective dwelling or temporary homes of lower quality, such as shacks and rooms, compared to national children or migrant children with parents or guardians. A study conducted by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) shows that the vast majority of independent migrant children in developing countries often sleep on the streets and in markets, shop fronts and kiosks, which exposes them to inadequate sleep, sexual harassment, robbery and assault. Even where unaccompanied children are provided with housing by the State, they are often accommodated in hostels or bed and breakfast accommodation, which may not be a suitable environment for children.
