Recommendation on the complaint of International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) and the European Council for Refugees and Exiles (ECRE) v. Greece

On 20 April 2022, the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers adopted a Recommendation based on the complaint to the European Social Charter registered on 30 November 2018 by International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) and the European Council for Refugees and Exiles (ECRE) against Greece.

The Committee of Ministers recommends that Greece:

  • pursue further the efforts already undertaken to increase the national accommodation capacity for accompanied and unaccompanied migrant children, including accommodation for accompanied children on the islands;
  • proceed to the reform and full implementation of a law on guardianship of unaccompanied minors;
  • strengthen the implementation of the regulatory framework for the education of accompanied and unaccompanied migrant children, in particular on the islands;
  • indicate the decisions and actions taken to comply with this recommendation in the next report on followup to decisions to collective complaints.

The Recommendation is based on the report of the European Committee of Social Rights (ECSR) where it found that the situation in Greece was in violation with several provisions of the Revised European Social Charter. The recommendation also took into account the response provided by Greece in which the government states that the situation has changed significantly since the lodging of the complaint.
