4 UNACCOMPANIED & SEPARATED MINORS (UASMS) International law defines unaccompanied children as those under 18 years of age who have been separated from both parents and are not being cared for by an adult who, by law or custom, is responsible to do so. Separated children are defined as those under 18 years of age who are separated from both parents or from their previous legal or customary primary caregiver. 4
5 SYRIA Over 1 million Syrian refugee children 8,000 are URMs 5 Map: UNHCR
6 AFRICA 5 main countries of origin for refugees submitted by the UNHCR for resettlement Democratic Republic of the Congo - 53% Somalia - 23% Eritrea - 8% Burundi - 3% Sudan - 3% Collection of the required information and documentation in support of the resettlement of unaccompanied or separated children cases is not always easily available. 6

11 THE EU 24,000 unaccompanied minors applying for asylum in Europe last year. UNICEF, Macedonia registered 3,857 in the last 4 months. Germany is expecting to see the highest number of UASMs entering its borders in six years. 11 Map: European Migration Network
12 ASIA 169,559 is UNHCR s total projected resettlement needs for No data on how many are unaccompanied children Many countries in the region are still not a part of the 1951 Convention. Iran hosts the largest number of urban refugees worldwide, mostly Afghan. 12 Map: UNHCR
13 ASIA The highest number of unaccompanied children are: Origin Afghanistan Burma/ Myanmar Bhutan Iraq Syria Host Turkey, Indonesia, Pakistan, India Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia Nepal Jordan Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, (Based on the UNHCR Global Trends Report and reports from partners on the ground) 13
14 RECOMMENDATIONS Recognize new forms of displacement. Grant Children Protective Status which makes them not removable for duration of the designation, granted travel authorization, can obtain employment authorization documents. Strengthen and create uniformity in regional and national frameworks which include child-welfare standards for ensuring protection. Encourage the UNHCR to work with additional resettlement countries to build their capacity to receive URMs and include slots for unaccompanied refugee minors. Increase resources for outreach, registration, and best interest determination processes for increased identification of unaccompanied children in need of resettlement. The U.S. Government must prioritize raising the number of URMs that it resettles annually. 14
