Returns at any cost: Spain's push to repatriate unaccompanied children in the absence of safeguards Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE CHILDREN CHILDREN AT RISK CHILDRENS RIGHTS UACCOMPANIED MINORS DEPORTATION HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS REPATRIATION This report identifies a fundamental flaw in Spain's repatriation of unaccompanied migrant and refugee children: the government's failure to provide children with independent legal representation during repatriation procedures. This gap in protection leaves children unable to challenge decisions that fundamentally affect their lives and may result in children sent back to situations where their well-being is at risk. Adult migrants, in contrast, receive free legal assistance from lawyers in a deportation procedure. 2026-09-30T11:44:20Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33352737.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Returns_at_any_cost_Spain_s_push_to_repatriate_unaccompanied_children_in_the_absence_of_safeguards/33352737 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
