Abstract

With the current migration and refugee crisis, jurists, political scientists and competent authorities in the European Union are increasingly faced with the issue of the arrival of minors in need of international protection. This research focuses on the diverse and interconnected practical difficulties encountered in the course of the process concerning the granting of such protection: «invisibility» of the minor, right to be heard, preservation of the family unit, international duty of non-refoulement, indivi­dual risk assessment in terms of «well-founded fear» and objective risk.
