With unprecedented numbers of children on the move in search of
safety, Protecting Migrant Children explores the complex legal and
human rights issues that arise when children cross borders as
migrants. It critically examines the strengths and weaknesses of
international and domestic laws with the aim of identifying best
practice for migrant children. The book brings together an
interdisciplinary and multinational group of experts to assess the
nature and root causes of child migration in different parts of the
world, featuring national and comparative case studies in
Australia, Canada, Europe, the United States and parts of Asia and
Africa. The contributors address systematically the many challenges
experienced and posed by young people who cross borders in search
of protection, or a better quality of life. Identifying the many
universal issues facing states who play host to these children, the
book lays the foundations for new paradigms in law, policy and
practice in the reception and management of child migrants,
refugees and victims of trafficking. Topical and engaging, this
book is an important resource for academics and students in human
rights law; migration and refugee law; the administrative and
procedural issues of refugee law, and comparative law; as well as
in the social sciences and health sciences. Policymakers and
workers within the community sector will also find this book
stimulating and informative. Contributors include: E.O. Abuya, F.
