Council of Europe Action Plan on Protecting Refugee and Migrant Children in Europe (2017-2019)
The Council of Europe has developed an Action Plan providing concrete action on protecting children fleeing war, violence and persecution. It proposes concrete support to member states at all stages of the migration process, with a special focus on unaccompanied children, and has three main pillars: ensuring access to rights and child-friendly procedures; providing effective protection; enhancing the integration of children who would remain in Europe.
Refugee and migrant children arriving in Europe often find themselves in a very precarious situation, after having been confronted with human rights violations all along the journey. The Secretary General has asked the Special Representative to ensure that his activities have a special focus on refugee and migrant children
