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

El enfoque está puesto en las implicaciones de cada instrumento en la estrategia de cabildeo que de mejor manera apoye los derechos de los niños separados dentro del proceso de harmonización de políticas de la Unión Europea.

El informe sobre la situación de los niños separados en Europa Central y los países Bálticos es un estudio comparativo de las 11 evaluaciones de país realizadas por ONGs y el ACNUR entre agosto del 2000 y marzo del 2001. Los países involucrados son: Bulgaria, Croacia, la República Checa, Eslovaquia, Eslovenia, Estonia, Hungría, Letonia, Lituania, Polonia, Rumania. El comentario central de este informe es que a pesar de la existencia de brechas significantes, en todos los países existen disposiciones legales en favor del pequeño grupo de los niños separados demandantes de asilo. Sin embargo la práctica, a menudo, no llega a los estándares internacionales existentes en esa materia. Para mejorar la situación de los niños separados en esos países de la región el estudio hace recomendaciones de mejores prácticas y hace un llamado a los gobiernos para que realicen mayores esfuerzos para reconocer la importancia del tema de los menores separados solicitantes de asilo.

Este informe es un estudio comparativo de las leyes, prácticas y políticas existentes en 16 países de Europa Occidental. Una de las conclusiones centrales de este estudio es que, aunque existen ejemplos de buenas prácticas, las necesidades particulares y los derechos de los niños separados en materia de política de asilo son generalmente poco comprendidos o reconocidos.
