UN condemns the Netherlands over failed protection of stateless child
The UN human rights committee has found that the Netherlands violated a child’s rights by failing to acknowledge that he was stateless and eligible for international protection. The case involves a boy named Denny, born in the Dutch city of Utrecht in 2010 to a stateless Chinese mother who was trafficked to the Netherlands. With nothing to prove that her son was without a nationality, Denny was registered as “nationality unknown” and they were put in a centre for refused asylum seekers with young children, under a permanent threat of deportation.
Brexit: Migrant parents of British children in danger of becoming undocumented
Hundreds of migrant parents of British children living in the UK are in danger of becoming undocumented after 1 July 2021. The process by which the UK Home Office grants residence to them may be indiscriminate and unlawful, according to lawyers. 60% of people whose residence is required to enable a British child or dependent adult to live in the UK, saw their residence application rejected in June 2020.
