Date/Time Date(s) - 26/06/20 All Day Location UM Categories No Categories This workshop brings together researchers from various backgrounds to discuss ongoing research on how legal status affects the life opportunities of children of immigrants in Western countries. While access to citizenship for immigrants has been increasingly restricted or questioned in host societies over the last decades, little is known about whether and how children of immigrants get access to the citizenship of their country of birth and/or of residence, and how this may impact their life chances and outcomes. Legal status is not only relevant for children of the so-called “1.5 generation”, who do not obtain citizenship based on ius soli , but also for native-born children of immigrants living in countries with a ius sanguinis tradition. If they do not become citizens at birth, children of immigrants typically rely on their parents to acquire the host country citizenship, raising the ...

Safeguarding children’s rights in immigration law 23 November 2018 – Leiden University   On Friday 23 November 2018 the Institute of Immigration Law and the Department of Child Law (both Leiden University) will organize an international conference on ‘Safeguarding children’s rights in immigration law’ at Leiden Law School. Millions of children are on the move worldwide. Children are fleeing conflicts and wars and move with or without their parents to attain a better future. Throughout the migration process, children find themselves in a vulnerable position. The entry into force of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has accelerated the proliferation of children’s rights worldwide. Also within immigration law, the i...

 For my course in teaching I have to write essays every fortnight. This is essay no 2 All illustrations are sheets from the course Foundations of Teaching for Learning 8: Developing Relationships by the Commonwealth Education Trust https://www.coursera.org/learn/teacher-relationships/home/week/4 Introduction Normally I teach about immigration and immigration law to grown-up students so the part of the course about the relationship between the teacher and the pupil's parents did seem not that useful for me. However I realised that our Dutch society has now many families in which one or even two of the parents are immigrants. The mum's mostly raise their young children but have not mastered Dutch themselves so what they do is they teach their children their own native language and then wait for the school to teach them proper Dutch. This can result in a huge learning disadvantage for children. Another aspect is that especially ref...

The Free Movement immigration law blog is written by members of the immigration team at Garden Court Chambers in London, ranked as top tier in both Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500 . The editor is Colin Yeo .   Those working with migrant children have known this all along, but in March we had some official confirmation from a Parliamentary committee : the situation of migrant children in the UK is getting worse, not better: While we welcome the reduction in the number of migrant children held in immigration detention, we are disappointed that so little other progress appears to have been made by the Government since we reported on the human rights of unaccompanied migrant children and young people in the UK back in June 2013. All the evidence we have received suggests that the treatment of child migrants is an area where, despite some improvements, if anything the situation has grown worse overall during this Parliament. The Home Office seems still to prior...

Among the millions who have fled the Syrian civil war over the past four years, around a quarter of a million have headed to Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan. They have been joined in recent months by more than 2 million Iraqis fleeing north to escape ISIL jihadists, and half of them are children. UNICEF , the United Nation’s agency for children, says it has been a devastating year” for millions of children caught up in worldwide conflicts. Jeffrey Bates, Chief of Communications for UNICEF Iraq told euronews that many young Syrian and Iraqi children have only known war. “What for us is an emergency, a crisis (he speaks of war and violence), for them is normal. For them, what is strange is normal life.” “So what UNICEF and partners are trying to do is create a normal life. A camp will never be home, but if these children can have places where they can play, go to school, where they can be with their friends and families and just to be safe and secure, it will ...

  The European Court of Human Rights barred Switzerland on Tuesday from sending a family of Afghan migrants back to Italy, ruling their well-being could be at risk. Deporting the Tarakhel family, which includes six children, without first getting assurances from Italy they would be taken care of and kept together is a violation of Article Three of the European Convention on Human Rights, the court ruled. The decision is final and can serve as a precedent for other migrants in a similar situation. The court noted that the UN refugee agency had previously raised concerns over Italy's procedures for caring for refugees. "The possibility that a significant number of asylum seekers may be left without accommodation or accommodated in overcrowded facilities without any privacy, or even in insalubrious or violent conditions, cannot be dismissed as unfounded," the court ruled. Italy has seen a massive rush of migrants over the past year try...

More than a million Syrian children could miss out on education, and child labour is a big problem, warns refugee agency Syrian children play with plastic weapons at a refugee camp in southern Lebanon. More than a million Syrian children are refugees. Photograph: Nabil Mounzer/EPA   Hundreds of thousands of Syrian children already traumatised by war are facing a life of "catastrophe" in exile, without education or normal childhood freedoms, the UN refugee agency has warned.

More than a million Syrian children are refugees , most of them in neighbouring countries. The report, the Future of Syria: refugee children in crisis , published by the UNHCR on Friday, involved four months of research across Jordan and Lebanon, speaking to children and the international...

© UNHCR/J.Björgvinsson A mother and her children at a detention centre in Greece. UNHCR advocates alternatives to detention, especially for vulnerable asylum-seekers such as mothers and children. The UN Refugee Agency has issued new guidelines on the detention of asylum-seekers and is concerned at its growing use in a number of countries. The guidelines  represent UNHCR policy and are intended as advice for governments and other bodies making decisions on detaining people. As a principle, UNHCR opposes detention of people seeking international protection. The new guidelines make clear that seeking asylum is not a criminal act, and that indefinite and mandatory forms of detention are prohibited under international law, Adrian Edwards, UNHCR spokesman explained. We are disappointed that many countries continue to hold asylum-seekers in detention, sometimes for long periods and in poor conditions, including in some cases in prisons toget...

Denmark's participation with Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland and the UK in a European project (ERPUM) to establish a reception centre in Kabul where to return rejected unaccompanied asylum seeking children is being roundly criticised by human rights activists and researchers.

New global campaign launched to end immigration detention of children (Brussels, 20 March 2012) – Today, the International Detention Coalition (IDC) launched a global campaign to end the immigration detention of children by presenting a new report, Captured Childhood , at the Human Rights Council in Geneva. Amnesty International, ECRE and the Jesuit Refugee Service Europe strongly support this campaign, and request governments to put an end to a widespread practice which, as the IDC report shows, has devastating effects on the physical and psychological development of children. The IDC estimates that there are hundreds of thousands of children in detention every year. “ The devastating effects of immigration detention on the mental and physical health of children have been evidenced beyond dispute. Detention of ...
