Report: Separated Children, Exile and Home-Country Links: The Example of Somali Children in the Nordic Countries

skip navigation Save the Children organisations in the Nordic countries have been developing projects to facilitate home-country links and voluntary repatriation for separated young people from the Horn of Africa, more particularly, Somalia. These initiatives have been a response to the perception that many separated African children in the Nordic countries are struggling to integrate and could benefit from opportunities to renew contact with their home country and explore the potential for future return.

Auteur: William Spindler

"La situation des Enfants Séparés en Europe centrale et dans les pays baltes" est une étude comparative de 11 évaluations par pays conduites par des ONG et le HCR d'août 2000 à mars 2001. Les pays concernés sont: la Bulgarie, la Croatie, la République Tchèque, l'Estonie, la Hongrie, la Lettonie, la Lituanie, la Pologne, la Roumanie, la Slovaquie et la Slovénie. L'observation principale faite par cette étude est qu'en dépit d'importants problèmes, un grand nombre de dispositions légales en faveur des enfants séparés demandeurs d'asile existent dans ces pays. Cependant, la pratique fait souvent défaut et ne respecte pas assez les standards internationaux existant en la matière. Pour améliorer la situation dans ces pays, l'étude fait des recommandations en vue d'une meilleure pratique et fait appel à des efforts plus importants de la part des gouvernements pour reconnaître l'importance de la question des enfants séparés demandeurs d'asile.

Ce rapport est une étude comparative des lois, pratiques et politiques existantes dans 16 pays d'Europe occidentale.
