Summary: | The refugee crisis we are witnessing in the lasts years represents one of the thorniest themes in all the European Governments agenda. In the lasts three years the number of persons escaping from their countries is constantly and dramatically increased, and over 35% of them are Children. The asylum seekers crisis - particularly the unaccompanied Children asylum seekers - requests to every country - those they leave, those they cross and those in which they seek asylum - a duty to protect and safeguard the rights guaranteed under the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1979). According UNICEF’s seven points plan for refugee and migrant Children (UNICEF, 2016): - Unaccompanied or separated Children must be kept safe - The best interests of the Child should be a primary consideration in any decision concerning that Child - Children must be given access to services such as health and education.
