SERRANO CABALLERO, Enriqueta. Protection of unaccompanied minor migrants in the European Union. Revista Col. San Luis [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.15, pp.135-169. ISSN 2007-8846.

The objective of this article is to identify and know the rules of international law and the law of the European Union (EU) on the protection of unaccompanied foreign applicants for asylum (see Directive 2011/95/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011), to give a bit of light to the subject of the protection of unaccompanied foreign minors that arrive in the territory of the EU. The number and nature of the foreign minors seeking protection vary from one State to another. The value of this research is to approach the study of how in recent years there has been an increase in the number of unaccompanied minors who migrate to one of the Member States of the EU, undocumented and without taking into account the rules of aliens of the States that make it up. The paper concludes that despite the shortcomings of Community legislation in relation to the monitoring and the lack of community competence to protect the unaccompanied child, the EU must prevail in all its territory the best interests of the child.
