Estudio jurídico sobre infancia no acompañada y separada con necesidad de protección internacional en España
Abstract
El objetivo de este estudio es examinar, desde la perspectiva del Derecho, la situación de los menores de edad no acompañados o separados que son posibles solicitantes de asilo en España. La falta de datos fiables, el endurecimiento de las políticas de externalización y control de fronteras, así como la constatación en la práctica del trato recibido por los niños convierte a esta obra en imprescindible en la materia. La estructura de este estudio jurídico gira en torno a tres partes y toma como eje el interés superior del niño. El hilo conductor es el periplo de los niños no acompañados que son posibles solicitantes de protección internacional. La primera parte se centra en la evaluación e identificación de necesidades específicas de protección; la segunda parte examina el procedimiento de protección internacional y, por último, la tercera parte analiza la búsqueda de soluciones duraderas para los menores. El estudio comprende también el análisis de los niños y niñas víctimas de trata de seres humanos, cuestión relativamente apartada hasta ahora de las investigaciones en la materia.
The aim of this study is to examine, from a legal perspective, the situation of unaccompanied or separated minors who are potential asylum seekers in Spain. The lack of reliable data, the hardening of externalisation and border control policies, as well as the practical evidence of the treatment received by children make this an essential work on the subject. The structure of this three-part legal study focuses on the best interests of the child. The common thread is the journey of unaccompanied children who are potential applicants for international protection. The first part focuses on the assessment and identification of specific protection needs; the second part examines the international protection procedure; and finally, the third part looks at the search for durable solutions for minors. The study also includes an analysis of child victims of human trafficking, an issue that has so far been relatively neglected in research on the subject.
