Abstract

The increase in the number of requests for refuge and the migratory flow in general has brought new challenges for the Federal Public Defender’s Office. One of these challenges is related to the treatment that should be given by the Public Defender to migrant children and adolescents unaccompanied in the national territory of their legal responsible. As a way of solving this problem, CONANDA, CONARE, CNIg and DPU published resolution establishing procedures for the immigration regulation, mainly through the request for refuge, and protective measures for this specific group of immigrants. This article aims to analyze this resolution, as well as verify the nature and legitimacy of the action of the Federal Public Defender’s Office in favor of unaccompanied children and adolescents.
