IRO: Unaccompanied Children and Their Interests
Original language description
The present Article analyses the definition of the term “unaccompanied children” based on Annex I of the Constitution of the International Refugee Organization and examines its linkage with the principle of the best interests of the child. Th e normative and factual analysis considers both the necessary as well as the supplementary components of the definition of unaccompanied children. In this context, the principle first appears, suggested by the 1948 Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) report, and recommended by the subsequent ECOSOC resolution, in an implied role of a guiding principle meant to consolidate the IRO’s practice as to the preparation of individual plans for unaccompanied children in equivocal cases (i.e., where reunification with parents or repatriation were unfeasible). Th e ECOSOC report lists six assurances needing to be satisfied when deciding on the child’s future place of residence. Th e principle also features in the laws and regulation of the US and British occupation zones. Particularly, in Article 14 of the High Commission for Occupied Germany (HICOG) Law No. 11 applied by the US occupation authorities. Comparably to the ECOSOC report, the HICOG Law also lists six factors for consideration in ambiguous cases.
