European Asylum Law and the Rights of the Child

Focusing on the intersection of child rights and asylum, the book evaluates the compliance of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) with international child rights law. Ciara Smyth highlights key attributes of children's rights pertinent to the asylum process and critically analyzes how these rights are represented in current and proposed CEAS legislation. The work aims to illuminate gaps and challenges in protecting child asylum seekers and refugees within the existing legal framework.
