In year 2015 European Union was dealing with one of biggest world refugee migration
crisis, which arose as a result of a large number of refugees from the Near East. Among
them, half of them were children or unaccompanied children. These childrens were often
victims of different abuses and human trafficking. Main task of Europen Union was to
protect them. The purpose of my master`s thesis is to determine which laws, policies and
measures have been taken by the European Union in order to protect children and to
analyse if they have been successful. I have also analyzed where are the shortcomings, as
at European Union leves as well as on national level of each Member State. What should
they do to make the legal protection of children even more comprehensive and effective.
Reasearch and analysis has been dealt within three methods, discreet, historical and
classification method. The findings have shown, that EU institutions made very good
legislative frame which protects children refugees and gives them the right to education,
health, social care – in short right to normal life. But on the other hand there are Member
States where all these measures written in laws, regulations and in practice are poorly
used.
