    International treaties, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, European Union (EU) secondary law and national legislation provide a number of rights to citizens. The maps and tables presented show the various patterns concerning age requirements for children to acquire rights in the EU. They also identify inconsistencies, protection gaps and restrictions deriving from different age thresholds. The aim is to assist EU Member States in addressing these issues and to facilitate the EU in exercising its competence to support and coordinate Member States’ actions related to children and youth.

    Up to one third of migrants arriving in the European Union since the summer of 2015 have been children. The current emphasis on speedier asylum processing and making returns more effective may trigger increased use of immigration detention, possibly also affecting children. The detention of children implicates various fundamental rights and will only be in line with EU law if limited to exceptional cases. This report aims to support practitioners in implementing relevant polices in line with applicable law by outlining available safeguards against unlawful and arbitrary detention and highlighting promising practices.

    Rund 2,5 Millionen Kinder nehmen jedes Jahr an Gerichtsverfahren in der gesamten Europäischen
    Union (EU) teil; dabei geht es um die Scheidung ihrer Eltern, oder aber sie sind Opfer oder
    Zeugen von Straftaten geworden. Obwohl eine wirksame Beteiligung von Kindern an solchen
    Verfahren entscheidend ist, um die Arbeitsweise der Justiz zu verbessern, ist der Umgang mit
    Kindern in den Justizsystemen nach wie vor besorgniserregend.

    Around 2.5 million children participate in judicial proceedings across the European Union (EU) every year, affected by parental divorce or as victims of, or witnesses to, crime. Although their effective participation in such proceedings is vital for improving the operation of justice, the treatment of children in justice systems remains a concern. FRA investigated to what extent children’s rights to be heard, to be informed, to be protected, and to non-discrimination are fulfilled in practice.
    This infographic illustrates some of the main concerns of children when it comes to participating in court proceedings using their own words.

    einschlägigen Entwicklungen, wobei sowohl die erzielten Fortschritte als
    auch die nach wie vor bestehenden Hindernisse beleuchtet werden. Darüber
    hinaus äußert sich die FRA in dieser Veröffentlichung zu den wichtigsten
    Entwicklungen in den genannten Themenbereichen und gibt einen
    Überblick über die ihren Stellungnahmen zugrunde liegenden Evidenzdaten.
