Unaccompanied Minors in the EU

Absztrakt

Looking around in the world, in our smaller or wider environment, we have to face the fact that more and more minor children have to flee their home, their country. We are responsible for searching for answers and find the right way to solve the problem in a short time. The fear of persecution, breaches of human rights, armed struggle and disturbances, sexual and other exploitation, domestic violence or abuse and dodging military service are all part of the main reasons for flight. Most of the children are motivated by the hope for new opportunities or the chance to meet their family members who are living in Europe already. Their situation is regulated by several European immigration and asylum directives. In this paper – which is the outcome from a more complex and larger research – the most important documents are analyzed related to the reception-regulation of these children.
